Question

Which factor contributed most to the beginning of the women's-rights movement in the United States during the mid-1800s?

Answer 1

A dramatic increase in women's participation in the workforce

A shift in social attitudes brought on by increased sectional tensions

The experience of gender discrimination within reform movements

The granting of voting rights to African American men

Answer 2

The granting of voting rights to African American men

This is the main spark of the woman's rights movement, Women would want to make a point in a heated debate, but nobody would listen because women didn't have the power to vote or anything. So they decided that they needed to gain the right to vote. (if my logic doesn't make sense just ask me to explain in further depth)
