This two women advocates groups for American women voters separated due to irreconcilable views on the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. NWSA will not support the Amendment if women vote is not included. AWSA, on the other hand, supported the Fifteenth Amendment also supports the secure vote for African American men, women's vote should not be included because it will endanger the Amendments approval in congress.
