Need help with my writing homework on Women's Suffrage. Write a 1750 word paper answering; "Three years later voting qualifications were placed in the hands of the states by the U.S. Constitutional Convention, and women lost the right to vote in all states but New Jersey. Women lost their rights of voting in New Jersey in the year 1807” (Timeline of Women's Suffrage in the United States 2012).

Anti-slavery associations were formed in the early 1830s. In 1836 Angelina Grimke appealed to southern women by speaking out against slavery. And the Pastoral Letter of General Association of Massachusetts to Congressional Churches Under Their Care was put into operation against women speaking about slavery in a negative way in a public place (Liddington 1978). In 1840 a World Anti-Slavery Convention was held in London but women were prohibited from being apart due to their sex.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton presented the Equal Voting Rights at the first Women’s Rights Convention held in the Seneca Fall, in New York in 1848. Another Women’s Rights Convention was held two years later in Salem, Ohio. That same year the first National Women’s Rights Convention was held in Worcester, Massachusetts. In 1861 in Albany, New York the Women Rights Convention campaign for a liberalized divorce bill that gets shut down. During the Civil War, women stop their suffrage duties to help with the war. In 1867 Susan B. Anthony forms an Equal Rights Association that will work for universal suffrage after Kansas campaigned for black and women suffrage but got shot down. “The fourteenth amendment was passed that same year defining U.S. citizens as being a male” (Liddington 1978).

The fifteenth amendment was passed in the year 1868, giving voting rights to black males. Women try to be included but again are turned down for the right to vote. In New England, the Women’s Suffrage Association was formed that same year and 172 women tried to vote in New Jersey but every single ballot was ignored.
