The Fight for Women's Suffrage in America

The video explores the history of women's suffrage in the U.S., starting with the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention and the Declaration of Sentiments. It covers the split in the suffrage movement post-Civil War due to the 15th Amendment, which granted voting rights to black men but not women. The video details state-level successes in the late 19th century and the renewed momentum in the early 20th century, leading to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. It also highlights the continued struggle for voting rights for Native American and Asian American women.
