Answer 1

In the excerpt from Susan B. Anthony's writings, she was expressing her opposition to the exclusion of women from the Fifteenth Amendment. The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, granted African American men the right to vote but did not extend that right to women, which was a point of contention for Anthony and other suffragists at the time.
