Hawaii

When does the territorial government of Hawaii give women suffrage?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 22:33, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1870

1870: The 15th amendment to the U. S. Constitution is adopted. The amendment grants suffrage to former male African-American slaves, but not to women. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton oppose the amendment, which for the first time in the constitution uses the word "males" with regard to a counting device for Congressional representation. Many of their former allies in the abolitionist movement, including Lucy Stone, support the amendment.[3]

The 14th not 15th amendment uses the word male for counting — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.103.106 (talk) 14:12, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only white women in Kentucky 1830 ?

@Megalibrarygirl: I don't have access to the Kentucky act of 1830, so I'd like to ask you: Since Kentucky was a slave state and had also removed the vote from free black males after "a brief period" (Engerman, Sokoloff page 28), I wonder whether also the school-related vote was restricted to white women. Thanks a lot. --Rsk6400 (talk) 07:21, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rsk6400, You're probably right! Sometimes I've found that the literature and sources don't specify white women because it's assumed. It makes it very frustrating trying to pin down details. I'm going to be writing Women's suffrage in Kentucky eventually, so I'll have more information after I did into that. I'm writing about women's suffrage in each state and I'm about 1/3 of the way through. :) If you do find out more, please ping me! Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:42, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. I'll certainly ping you. Still, sometimes there are surprises: E.g. free black males had the vote in North Carolina before the 1830s. --Rsk6400 (talk) 19:02, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
