The group that would have had the strongest reason to object to the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment is women's rights activists.
While the amendment aimed to secure voting rights for men regardless of race, it did not grant the same rights to women, which led to significant frustration among suffragists who believed that women's rights should also be recognized in voting legislation.
