What supporting details does the paragraph provide to support the central idea of the paragraph below? (Choose all that apply.)

Question

Many women’s rights advocates also supported the abolitionist movement and the right of African Americans to vote. After the Civil War and the emancipation of slaves in the United States, the Fifteenth Amendment, which would give African American men the right to vote, was proposed. This caused a great divide between women suffragists. Some women, including Stanton and Anthony, would not support the amendment because they felt that it should extend voting rights to all American citizens. Other women, including Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe, supported the amendment. They believed that once African American men had the vote, women would be next.
