Question 6 • United States History

What government action prompted the organization of two women’s suffrage groups in 1869?

Answer
A
the announcement of Catt’s “Winning Plan”
B
the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment
C
the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment
D
the arrest of Margaret Sanger

Explanation

The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, prohibited denying men the right to vote because of race, but it did not extend voting rights to women. Disagreement over supporting the amendment led suffragists to split in 1869 into two organizations: the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association. The correct choice is the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment.
