The Seneca Falls Declaration (1848) The Seneca Falls Declaration of 1848 outlined the women's rights movement of the mid-19th century. As can be seen in the opening passages, the document was modeled after the Declaration of Independence. “…We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. “

Women’s Suffrage

Susan B. Anthony: In Favor of Women's Suffrage (1872) In this speech, given following her arrest for attempting to vote in the 1872 election, Anthony argues that respect for America's fundamental principles requires that women be allowed to vote. “In thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's right, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any State to deny.” “It was we, the people, not we, the white male citizens, nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed this Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings or liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people-women as well as men. “

Susan B. Anthony

Two Organizations are formed National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) Founded by Anthony and Stanton The more radical woman's suffrage group. Accepted only women and opposed the Fifteenth Amendment since it only enfranchised African-American men. American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) More moderate in its views than the NWSA. Allowed men to join and rallied behind the Fifteenth Amendment as a step in the right direction toward greater civil rights for women. Leaders of the AWSA included Julia Ward Howe and Lucy Stone. 10

Women Gain the Vote NAWSA What approach to suffrage? How did the goals of the NWP differ from the NAWSA? How did Carrie Chapman Catt change the NAWSA? What was the result of the movement?

When the two groups reunited in 1890, the new National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) followed the direction set by Anthony and Stanton. 12

Why the West? Special frontier conditions?—the Turner thesis. Women’s vote would offset votes of black men? Women’s vote would attract women settlers to the West? Women played an important role in the lives of westerners? 14
