The document provides an overview of the women's suffrage movement in the United States from the 1820s to the 1920 ratification of the 19th Amendment. It discusses key events like the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 that launched the movement, and organizations like the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association that advocated for women's right to vote. The document also notes that while the 19th Amendment granted women's suffrage, not all groups of women were able to fully exercise their right to vote due to ongoing discrimination.

"What Is Freedom?": Reconstruction, 1865–1877
*
After the Civil War, freed slaves and white allies in the North and South attempted to redefine the meaning and boundaries of American freedom. Freedom, once for whites only, now incorporated black Americans. By rewriting laws, African-Americans, for the first time, would be recognized as citizens with equal rights and the right to vote, even in the South. Blacks created their own schools, churches, and other institutions. Though many of Reconstruction’s achievements were short-lived and defeated by violence and opposition, Reconstruction laid the basis for future freedom struggles.

Q: Chapter 15 includes a new comparative discussion on the aftermath of slavery in various Western Hemisphere societies. You see important commonalities in the struggle over land and labor in post-Emancipation societies. How do you situate the experiences of former slaves in the United States in this borrowed content.
A: Well, just as slavery was a hemispheric institution, so was emancipation. It’s useful for us in thinking about the aftermath of slavery in the United States, the Reconstruction era and after to see what happened to other slaves in places where slavery was abolished. What you see is a similar set of issues and conquests taking place everywhere slaves desire land of their own—this is the No. 1 thing, they want autonomy, they want independence from white control. All of these regions are agricultural, everywhere former slaves demand land. In some places they get land fairly effectively, like in Jamaica, West Indies, where there’s a lot of unoccupied land they can take. In some places they don’t, but that battle to who’s going to have access to land and economic resources is a commonality in the aftermath of slavery. So too is the effort of local plantation owners trying to get the plantation going again and to force slaves to work back on the plantations, or if not, to bring labor from somewhere else—in the West Indies they bring workers from China, from India, from southeast Asia to replace slaves who were moving off on land of their own. They can’t quite do that in the United States—they tried to bring ...
Running head: FREEDOM AND WOMEN 1
FREEDOM AND WOMEN 2
Freedom and women
Reconstruction led to the reinstatement of the southern states to the association, and reformulating the position African Americans in the United States. The process had begun before the civil war came to an end. Abraham Lincoln the president of the United States, started the unification of the states in 1863. The southerners took an oath of loyalty to show that they were to be loyal to the union and could take positions and establish governments. Lincolns' liberation command made the United States bring slavery to an end. However, this command only freed slaves in the areas of liberation the others left in bondage. Freedom, gender, race, and political economic revolutionized in the reconstruction period. It led to the emergence of suffrage movements and amendment of the constitution, granting all citizens the right to vote.
In 1920, the US constitution got approved after the nineteenth constitutional amendment. It also granted the congress the power to exercise legislation where appropriate. The right to vote depicted the highest level of the women movement, which was led by the national American woman enfranchisement association. The women's, enfranchisement movement had its origin in 1848. Three hundred thousand male and female activists had gathered during the convention to discuss the issue of women and come up with new strategies on how the political and social rights of the women could be achieved. However, the movement initially wasn't really into the suffrage of women at its early stages. The first suffrage women movement began in 1869. Susan and Elizabeth Cady found the National Woman enfranchisement Association. “Lucy Stone, Julia Ward, and Henry Blackwell” were the founding fathers of the American Woman enfranchisement Association (Williamson, 2019). During the fifteenth amend these two associations became rivals. This was because, in the fifteenth amendment, men were granted the right to poll, and the National Woman enfranchisement supported it.
American woman suffrage association did not help the amendment, because suffrage for women was not included. Notably, the two movements despite having differences, they were later merged into one massive demonstration, the National American Woman enfranchisement Association in 1890. In the 1870s, the women enfranchisement activists began to endeavor to vote and filing case when they were denied the chance to vote. This brought a lot of consciousness to the movement especially after the apprehension of Susan Anthony when she tried to vote in ...
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

• 11.10 Students analyze the
development of federal civil
rights and voting rights.
• Analyze the women’s rights
movement from the era of
Elizabeth Stanton and Susan
Anthony and the passage of
the Nineteenth Amendment
to the movement launched
in the 1960s, including
differing perspectives on the
roles of women.
Lesson Objectives:
• Students will be able to
identify the leaders of the
Women’s Suffrage
Movement.
• Students will state how
women’s suffrage
organizations shifted from
the Civil War to World War I.
• Students will be able to
distinguish the importance of
the 19th amendment.
4. Beginning of the
Movement
• Women’s Suffrage Movement
began during the 1820s, years
before the US Civil War
• Almost all white men could vote
at this time, with no property or
money requirements.
• New forms of thought emerged
during this period. Women began
rethinking what their role as a
citizen meant.

5. Roots of the
Movement
• There were a variety of reform
groups within the United States
during this time period.
• For Example: Abolitionist,
Temperance leagues, Moral-
reform societies
• Many of the women in these
groups played a big role in
women’s suffrage.

6. Seneca Falls
Convention
• In 1848 Elizabeth Cady Stanton
and Lucretia Mott invited a group
of abolitionist to Seneca Falls,
New York.
• Mostly women attended, though
there were men there.
• Discussed women’s rights and
came to an agreement–women
deserved the right to vote and
ability to engage in politics.

Convention
7. Declaration of
Sentiments
• Seneca Falls Convention created
the declaration listing their
grievances and demands
regarding women’s rights.
• The Declaration of Sentiments
states that women are
oppressed by the government
and are entitled to the same
rights as men.
• Modeled after the Declaration of
Independence– both men and
women have “certain
unalienable rights…”

8. Let’s Compare and Contrast!
Together we will read a short excerpt of the Declaration of Sentiments and the Declaration of Independence; this will be
handout out on a piece of paper. Then, break into your groups and note at least one similarity and one difference between the
two.
Declaration of Sentiments excerpt:
• “We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and women are
created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of
Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who
suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of
a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing
its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their
safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long
established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and
accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to
suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves, by abolishing the
forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and
usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to
reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their duty to throw off such
government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has
been the patient sufferance of the women under this government, and
such is now the necessity which constrains them to demand the equal
station to which they are entitled.”

Declaration of Independence excerpt:
• “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure
these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of
Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the
People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its
foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to
them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence,
indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be
changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath
shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,
than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are
accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing
invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute
Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the
patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which
constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history
of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and
usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute
Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid
world.”

9. Women’s Suffrage
Movement loses
Momentum
• The movement lost momentum when the
Civil War began
• 14th Amendment- Granted citizenship to
anyone born in the US, including former
slaves, guaranteed citizens equal
protections under the law.
• 15th Amendment- Granted citizens the
right to vote, regardless of color, race or if
they were previously a slave.
• Citizen meant men, not women
• The Women’s Suffrage movement gained
traction again following the Civil War
Thomas Kelly print of the 15th Amendment from 1870.
10. National Woman
Suffrage Association
• Formed in 1869 by Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Susan B. Anthony
• Main goal was the ratification of a
universal-suffrage amendment to the
Constitution. Voting regardless of sex.
• Faced criticism for fighting for black
enfranchisement.
• Enfranchisement- giving the right to vote
• The American Woman Suffrage
Association was created as a response
and focused on individual states rather
than national enfranchisement.

12. Now You Try!
Discuss with your group
the following questions:
• which organization do you
believe had the better approach
towards gaining women’s
suffrage?
• Was Susan B. Anthony and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton right to
abandon Black enfranchisement
to gain additional support for
their cause?
13. Pushing a Progressive
Agenda
• Eventually in the 1890s, both groups let go
their differences and merged to become the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association
• Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the first
president of the organization.
• Message of the suffrage movement had
shifted–women were not equal to men,
rather, they were different.
• Women were considered pure, and their
motherly values within the home would
apply to how they would vote.

new message of the movement.
14. World War I Era
• Beginning in 1910, certain states
had granted women the right to
vote.
• World War I helped advance the
suffragette agenda.
• Their contributions to the war
effort and patriotism
demonstrated they were model
American citizens who should be
allowed to vote.

have yet to grant women the right to vote in early 1910s.
15. 19th Amendment
• The 19th Amendment is ratified on August 18th, 1920.
• On November 2nd of that year, more than eight million voted
across the US.
• However, not all women were granted the right to vote.
Newspaper from 1920, after ratification.
17. Who was left behind?
• Native Americans could be US citizens in 1920, so they were not
allowed to vote.
• African American women were ignored by white Suffragists and
continued to fight for their right to vote.
• Latina women often encountered literacy tests to deter them
from voting. It was not until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that
they could not be discriminated against when voting.
• Asian Americans were not granted the right to vote until 1952
under the McCarran-Walter Act.
