Is it true that black males got the vote before white females?

Black men in America were given the vote after the Civil War. However, many states in the south came up with ways to prevent them voting, like incredibly complex literacy tests that they had to take (not just a simple matter of being able to read, but having to read and interpret complex legal documents etc).

Meanwhile, a number of states in America gave wome the vote before the 19th amendment was passed in 1920. so most white women in fact were able to vote long before most black people.

When black men got the vote after the civil war, Susan B. antony and elizabeth Cady stanton, the leaders of the campaign for votes for women, turned against their old allies. Susan B. Anthony shocked her old friend Frederick Douglass with her denounciation of "Patrick and Sambo and Yung Tung...making laws for...the daughters of Adams and jefferson...women of wealth and education.." The women's movement split, leaving radical feminists like Anthony and Stanton on one side and the more moderate women, like Lucy Stone, on the other. "Mrs Stone felt the slaves' wrongs more deeply than her own - my philosophy was more egotistical" said Stanton later.

Black women who joined the campaign for women's suffrage tended to be marginalised by white suffrage leaders who wanted the support of the southern states. By the end of the nineteenth century, southern politicians had succesfully deprived black men of the right to vote, and the last thing they wanted was pressure to open the door for black women.

In 1913, when Alice Paul held a massive women's suffrage parade in Washington, Ida Wells-Barnett, the black journalist, arrived in Washington with a sixty-member delegation from her Alpha Suffrage Club in Chicago. Paul was not thrilled to see them. In an effort to placate southern suffragists, she had announced that there would be no black women in the march. But African Americans were determined that this histroic moment was not going to be an all-white affair. "If the Illinois women do not take a stand in this great democratic parade then the colored women are lost" said Wells-Barnett. In the end, Paul reluctantly allowed the black women to walk at the end of the procession.

This sort of thing happened to black suffragists all the time. Whenever there was a question of choosing between the sensibilities of racist southerners and the feelings of African American women, they wound up on the outside - or the back of the parade.

Yes, black males got the right to vote before white females. Stop asking this :P.

And like Robert G said, by law they got the right to vote but they didn't in reality thanks to Jim Crow.

Females in general were denied the right to vote. The women's sufferage movement gave all women the right to vote. This much is true, but again...pointing back to Robert's answer, they never really got the right or the chance to vote...At least not until the civil rights act and the voting rights act.

But it's not because these women were poor. That's not why they never got the right to vote. Women were looked upon as a precious item...Something of value....Property. Like slaves, Property cannot vote because they are, technically, not citizens of the US. It was even worse for black women (or immigrant women I should say...depending on the time period) because of the way of life during that time.

"Is it true that black males got the right to vote before white females"...first of all, this is a gender thing not a race thing. I dont know why you exclusively asked about black men and white women. Your question shouldve just been, "Is it true that black males got the vote before women" I dont know why you specifically chosen to compare black men's voting rights with white women's, when women couldnt vote during that time in general, including black women

You left out the country who was the first to offer support, including troops, to US actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, whose population shows a 98% approval rating for the US (the highest in the world), and whose citizens have suffered attacks from Islamic extremists as a reult of its support. On any list of countries who have been our friend in troubled times, Denmark should come first.

Yes...Yes..Males have historically tried to suppress females by any means that were successful. I find this behavior so contradictory. Why? Because the one thing most males seek, or fantasize about is sexual access to females. Their theory is: what difference does it make, it only takes a little bit of their time.

Yes.

But black men lost it later and got it back later. But they originally got it first.

EDIT: They came up with lots of ways to keep black men from voting... like stupid laws that say "If your grandfather didn't vote, then you cannot legally vote".

And that's how they lost it.

Yes, by 50 years.

Black men = 1870

Women = 1920

In law yes

In reality no

Yes, it is true.

Your question doesn't make sense, could you provide more detail

thanks!!!
