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

Explanation

The passage of the Fifteenth Amendment in 1869 prompted a split in the women’s suffrage movement. Some activists supported the amendment even though it enfranchised Black men but not women; others opposed it until women were included. This division led to the organization of two groups: the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association.
