Between 1893 and 1908, how many attempts were there to get suffrage on state ballots?

geniusboy [140]

Women's suffrage in the United States of America, the legal right of women to vote, was established over the course of more than half a century, first in various states and localities, sometimes on a limited basis, and then nationally in 1920.

The demand for women's suffrage began to gather strength in the 1840s, emerging from the broader movement for women's rights. In 1848, the Seneca Falls Convention, the first women's rights convention, passed a resolution in favor of women's suffrage despite opposition from some of its organizers, who believed the idea was too extreme. By the time of the first National Women's Rights Convention in 1850, however, suffrage was becoming an increasingly important aspect of the movement's activities.

The first national suffrage organizations were established in 1869 when two competing organizations were formed, one led by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the other by Lucy Stone. After years of rivalry, they merged in 1890 as the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) with Anthony as its leading force.

To what extent would you call the signers of the Declaration of Independence courageous? Why?

Norma-Jean [14]

Benjamin Franklin said it best: “We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

The signers were indeed facing treason if the fledging US lost the war.

Congress ordered the Declaration to be delivered to a printer named John Dunlap after it was approved on July 4, 1776. The Dunlap Broadside, which had John Hancock's signature at the bottom, was produced in around 200 copies and circulated across the colonies. Today, 26 copies remain.

Only John Hancock and Charles Thomson, the president and secretary of the Continental Congress, were included on the copy of the Declaration that the signers delivered to King George III. Why? They didn't want the identities of all the treasonous individuals to be known to the British! Keep in mind these names. The copy that was sent to the King is here.

Declaration. (A1)

One signer endured brutal punishment and starvation until he changed his mind. The only signer of the Declaration of Independence to later retract his support for the revolution was Princeton, New Jersey, attorney Richard Stockton. The unfortunate delegate was taken prisoner by the British on November 30, 1776. Stockton renounced his signature on the Declaration of Independence and pledged allegiance to King George III after months of severe torture and few nourishment. In December 1777, having become a shattered man after regaining his release, he took a fresh pledge of allegiance to the state of New Jersey.

Therefore, each person who joined was exposed to personal and financial dangers. Today, it is quite simple to minimize the risks because we are aware of the outcomes. No, they didn't. They had a young nation that was ill-prepared to finance and wage war. They shown bravery by signing their names.

Thanks,

Eddie
