Answer 1

The correct response is the debate over ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment.

This debate highlighted issues of gender and race in the context of civil rights, leading many women's rights advocates to reassess their strategies and alliances. Some women, especially those involved in the suffrage movement, felt betrayed that the amendment granted voting rights to African American men but not to women, which spurred further activism in the women's movement.
