@dig_history @histodons This sounds fantastic!

@s_bosbach As you probably know for sure, some New England states had property qualifications for voting until the 1820! For me, it all really hints at the injustices possible when states have the sole power of setting voting rights. There’s no peep on this from the national government until 1865.

@s_bosbach @hattamisra @draliceevans @histodons This is one of the maps I always show my classes when we talk about the roots of the #19thAmendment. It indicates what you’re thinking—that whatever the reason may be, western states we more likely to have voting rights for women. Wyoming did so before it even became a state.

@jbf1755 This is easily the best most uplifting thing I’ve heard today.
