Detailed explanation-1: -The 15th Amendment guaranteed African-American men the right to vote. Almost immediately after ratification, African Americans began to take part in running for office and voting.
Detailed explanation-2: -Woman suffragists’ vehement disagreement over supporting the 15th Amendment, however, resulted in a “schism” that split the women’s suffrage movement into two new suffrage organizations that focused on different strategies to win women voting rights.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Government of India Act 1935 extended the vote to include around 6 million women, but even so covered only 2.5% of the women in India. “In the 1937 elections, 10 women were elected from general constituencies, 41 from reserved constituencies, and five were nominated to provincial legislative councils".
Detailed explanation-4: -Activists bitterly fought about whether to support or oppose the Fifteenth Amendment. Stanton and Susan B. Anthony objected to the new law. They wanted women to be included with black men.
