Moriah Whitney · Answer 1

The National Woman's Suffrage Association, NWSA, was an organization for women's equal rights in the United States, active between 1869 and 1890.

NWSA was formed in May 15, 1869 by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The organization was formed following a split in the American Equal Rights Association regarding the view of the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution. This was intended to abolish slavery and provide the right to vote regardless of skin color. NWSA also wanted to include a letter about gender in the amendment, which was not implemented.

Advocating for women's rights to vote during an election.

Explanation:

The National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) was formed in New York City. The Association was formed in response to a split in the American Equal Rights Association, regarding whether the women movement should support the Amendment to the United States Constitution. Elizabeth Stanton and Susan Anthony formed the NWSA and would only support the fifteenth amendment if it included women's rights to vote during the elections.
