Please note: Black women are an exception to this edict. We couldn't vote (along with black men) until the Voting Rights Act in the late 60's.

It took the suffrage movement decades to convince men that women actually had minds, too!

A very good exercise for folks to do: memorize the amendments. There's only a handful. Guys memorize crap like Super Bowl XLVI participants. Nineteen? Female suffrage. Got it. 18 & 21 - easy. Take over.

Player #2541831, the 15th Amendment gave black men the right to vote. It was passed in 1870 and made it illegal for states to keep black men from voting.
However, many southern states still made it difficult or flat out ignored the law.

Native Americans couldn't vote for a long time,too, although I'm not sure of the time enough to state. They weren't even citizens until the '70's.

Montana Lady, From what I have read it seems like some states are still playing the same game today to keep voters from being able to exercise their right to vote.

Some men in Britain + Canada didn't get the RIGHT to vote until after Women in the 🇺🇸.
How bout that for all you folks that think American culture is so bad.
JR. Gee
woman always should have the right to vote

Does it really take a law to do what’s right!

Initially, the right to vote was an entitlement only white, male, landowners had. Eventually the ownership of land was dropped but gender requirement didn't change. Each family got one vote, but that view changed to the vote being the ight of an individual. Only about 100 years ago did white women get the vote.

Wyoming being first state to give it at state level

Player #HoneyHeart, So are you saying Blacks Americans & Native Americans were allowed to vote before the 1965 voting act?
Player #55658062
Learning a lot. Thank you.

SilverDreameater9011, untrue.It has only been "illegal" based upon shady actions taken in (mostly) southern states to discourage blacks from voting, or even registering to vote. Sadly, you are spreading false information.

nimblemoon, it never should have taken an amendment to give women the power to vote.

SilverDreameater9011, please note: you are wrong. Everyone woman was given the right to vote in 1920. The voting right act made it illegal to create barriers to voting.
