Student # 11

1) Look at the student’s work.

Equal Rights Association - Split in movement

The Equal Rights Association was founded by women's rights and black right's activists in 1866 in the United States. The main goal of this association was to equalize races and sexes amongst society. Although this organization split in 1869 due to enormous tensions between each other, it did have a significance. Even though this association had broken up, the majority of the members continued to spread the word and try to equalize the sexes and races. Finally, they came back together to join the National American Women's Suffrage Association (NAWSA) in 1890, which grew more strongly due to the ratification of the 14th Amendment.
