Dramatically changed. It destroyed everything people believed about america and the american government. Once the wars over and this is an important day to talk about it, the anniversary of firing at fort sumter everybody has different ideas of what the nation is supposed to become. There were ideas about what africanamerican people should be. The northerners had ideas of what america should be. The indians and chinese out west had ideas about what america should be. And certainly the northern man who had won the war had thoughts on what america should be. But the critical question on was what it would be was who was going to have a say in it. He will go through that as well. Who was going to have a say on what that nation would be would have a dramatic effect on what that nation became. Today, i want to talk about lives in theens 19th century, and their role in what was the reconstruction and the rebuilding of the north, south, and west. The story of women is way more crucial to that
Or not polygamy should be included in the state laws. And the expectation of the legislators who include the women is that women will vote against polygamy. That by opening up the vote, youre going to move Society Forward and of course women will vote against polygamy. And women go to the polls in utah, and they vote in favor of polygamy. That stops the spread of womens suffrage across the west dead for years and years and years. The idea that somehow expanding the vote is going to create a Better Society hits real trouble when it hits utah and women vote in a way that most of the people who gave them the vote thought that they would not. So this is going to change the idea of womens suffrage spreading state by state, especially through the west, in the early 1870s. Still, if you look at that date, women have hope because in 1870, congress is going to be debating a new constitutional amendment to protect africanamerican voting in the south and thats the 15th amendment. And you know abo
And womens lives. Their role in what was the reconstruction and rebuilding of the north, south and west. The story of women is way more crucial than what people realize. Most people start here and you probably know about this from your High School Days with the seneca falls convention. When a number of women came together in seneca falls, new york they talked about womens rights. And the idea of rights for women came from the abolitionists went there and when they spoke about human rights, those women were not allowed to speak. They were not allowed to talk so on the way home, a number of them get talking and say this is not right. If really people are supposed to be free and equals, they should have rights as well. This is a group of people who issue these sentiments. It calls for rights for women and tries to fight back. You all learn about this and everybody talks about this being the beginning of womens rights in america and it is. But essentially after 1848, nothing happens. New y
Between america and the american government. So once the war is over and this is a good day to talk about this, today is the anniversary of the firing on fort sumter. Everybody has different ideas about what the nation is supposed to become. Weve really gone through a lot of that with ideas that African American men who fought for the union had ideas what america should be and certainly white southerners had ideas about what america should be. The northerners had ideas. The indians and chinese who were out west had ideas about what america should be. And certainly the northern men who had fought and won the war had ideas. About what the country should be. But the critical question as to what it was going to be was who was going to have a say in it. Weve gone through that as well. Who had a say in what that new nation was going to be was going to have a dramatic effect on what it eventually became. So today i want to talk about women and womens lives in the late 19th century and their r
