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.

Thesis: The purpose of the 1846 Wilmont Proviso was to ban slavery in all acquired territory from the Mexican-American War.
Supports:
1. The US was expected to win territory from Mexico after winning the Mexican-American War (lasted from 1846-1848).
2. There was a divisive problem about whether or not slavery would be allowed in the north, south, both, or not at all in the newly acquired territory. Many northerners felt slavery was wrong and did not want to further expand it in the country. Many southerners acknowledged that slavery upheld their economy and way of life and wanted to see it expand in the US.
3. David Wilmont, in the interest of northern free labor and not abolition, came up with the Wilmont Proviso that would not allow slavery to exist in any part of the newly acquired former Mexican territory.
