Question

Why did Susan Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton two people who work to abolish slavery object the 14th and 15th amendment???

Answer 1

For the first time, the Constitution asserted that men—not women—had the right to vote. Previously, only state laws restricted voting rights to men. Elizabeth Cady Stanton wrote, “If that word ‘male’ be inserted, it will take us a century at least to get it out.”
