Detailed explanation-1: -Suffragists are people who advocate for enfranchisement. After African American men got the vote in 1870 with the passage of the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution, “suffrage” referred primarily to women’s suffrage (though there were many other groups who did not have access to the ballot).
Detailed explanation-2: -Known as the suffragists, they were made up of mostly middle-class women and became the biggest suffrage organisation with more than 50, 000 members.
Detailed explanation-3: -Suffragists. Those involved in the first wave of the campaign for women’s votes are known as suffragists. Suffragists believed in peaceful, constitutional campaign methods. In the early 20th century, after the suffragists failed to make significant progress, a new generation of activists emerged.
