The 15th Amendment declared that "the right of citizens ... to vote shall not be denied or abridged ... on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude" – but women of all races were still denied the right to vote. To Susan B. Anthony, the rejection of women's claim to the vote was unacceptable.

Happy to help; have a great day! :)
