Women’s right to vote: We are taught it was 1920, but really women were allowed to vote in 1776. The right went away in 1809. At the time there was a rise of political parties. The two primary parties were federalist and anti-federalist. By 1809 most of the women were voting with the federalists. So when the anti-federalists got power in New Jersey they wiped out the women’s vote because they were “voting in the wrong political party.” Women’s right to vote at the time didn’t go away based on equality or inequality, it was grounded upon taking the right away because the anti-federalists were in power and they didn’t want the women’s vote to count against them.

Margaret Sanger: Google her. She is taught to be a champion of the Women’s Right Movement, but is really one of the most evil women in American history.
