Be advised....it is due to the Republicans that women have the vote in this great nation.
Too simplistic - almost
moronically so.
Be advised: even in the late teens and early twenties, money talked and bullshit walked. Accordingly, it was due to
progressives and to the big money interests served by integrating women into the voting pool ...that women
won the right to vote.
Nothing to say about the fags though?
I don't mind teaching a moron.....get a pencil and paper.
1.
It was a Republican who introduced what became the 19th Amendment, womens suffrage. On May 21, 1919, U.S. Representative James R. Mann (1856-1922), a Republican from Illinois and chairman of the Suffrage Committee, proposed the House resolution to approve the Susan Anthony Amendment granting women the right to vote. The measure passed the House 304-89a full 42 votes above the required two-thirds majority.

2. The 1919 vote in the House of Representatives was possible because
Republicans had retaken control of the House. Attempts to get it passed through Democrat-controlled Congresses had failed.
3. The Senate vote was approved only after
a Democrat filibuster; and 82% of the Republican Senators voted for it
.and 54% of the Democrats.
4. 26 of the 36 states that ratified the 19th Amendment had
Republican legislatures.
5. Two weeks later, on June 4, 1919, the Senate passed the 19th Amendment by two votes over its two-thirds required majority, 56-25. The amendment was then sent to the states for ratification. Within six days of the ratification cycle, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin each ratified the amendment. Kansas, New York and Ohio followed on June 16, 1919. By March of the following year, a total of 35 states had approved the amendment, one state shy of the two-thirds required for ratification. Southern states were adamantly opposed to the amendment, however, and seven of themAlabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginiahad already rejected it before Tennessee's vote on August 18, 1920. It was up to Tennessee to tip the scale for woman suffrage. Op. Cit.
6. The outlook appeared bleak, given the outcomes in other Southern states and given the position of Tennessee's state legislators in their 48-48 tie. The state's decision came down to 23-year-old Representative Harry T. Burn (1895-1977),
a Republican from McMinn County, to cast the deciding vote. Although Burn opposed the amendment, his mother convinced him to approve it. (Mrs. Burn reportedly wrote to her son: "Don't forget to be a good boy and help Mrs. Catt put the 'rat' in ratification.") With Burn's vote, the 19th Amendment was ratified. Certification by U.S. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby (1869-1950) followed on August 26, 1920. Op. Cit.
