After the civil war, several attempts were made by Republican legislators to grant women suffrage at the federal level, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Republicans were all on board.
In 1866, Republican Senator Edgar Cowan attempted to have gender specific language stricken from the 14th Amendment [1] which granted recently freed blacks all the rights and privileges given to free peoples, including the right to vote, but his attempt to do so was defeat by a vote of 9 to 37; 9 being for striking the word “male” out of the 14th Amendment, and 37 against (opposition would have included both Republicans and Democrats) [2]
In 1868, Republican Senator Samuel Pomeroy would propose an amendment granting women to vote in all states [3] and would present petitions from several states [4] before the Senate demanding that women be given the right to vote, but his measure never came to a vote.
Between 1866 and 1875, Republicans had more than enough of the Constitutionally required votes to pass a Constitutional amendment granting women the right to vote, but they ultimately kicked the can down the road until 1878 when another attempt to pass a Constitutional Amendment was made by Republican Aaron Sargent [5] who, along with Senator George Hoar, also a Republican, presented petitions for women’s suffrage before the Senate [6] and even gave the following in support of women’s suffrage:
I wish to say that this "assault" upon the Senate, in the pleasant language of my friend from Ohio, may be somewhat unusual. I dare say the Senate will resist it, successfully perhaps
for itself, but I predict that this is only the first of a series of such assaults upon legislative bodies, not only upon the Senate but upon the House of Representatives and upon the Legislatures of the various States.
(This in reference to women arriving at the Capitol to petition for universal suffrage)
This movement is getting to be very troublesome. I am aware of it. It disturbs grave Senators in their deliberations; it obtrudes unpleasant impressions perhaps on their minds, and it confronts them with a foe whom they do not like to fight and yet cannot easily escape. All this is quite unpleasant.
My friend from Ohio says the "old fogies" hold the fort here, and that these assaults cannot be successful as long as they hold their positions. Well, sir, this movement will not stop until they are out of their positions, until men imbued with the spirit of this movement come forward, until he himself and those whom he associates with him under that designation, which I would not think of using myself, either change -their views or give place to those who do believe in a reform of this character.
I believe in yielding to any request of women, ladies-any request that they may make involving merely policy. Unless I am satisfied that that which they ask is "Wrong,” I will yield to their desire.
It is a mere question of policy whether we shall hear them as a Senate. But beyond the question of policy is that of right, and the recognition of that is growing in the country, and this movement is spreading.
It will be more and more troublesome year by year. It is more than a question of taste.
It may have its eccentricities and will cause disagreeable surprises to its opponents. All such movements do. The more it is resisted the more uncomfortable it will make its adversaries.
It now asks to be heard by the Senate. You may refuse it now; the time will come when you will hear it, or your successors will, and grant its prayers. We are told that the regulation of suffrage belongs to the States, .and that these women should appeal to the States. They have that right, undoubtedly, but they have the right to appeal also to the nation.
The Constitution puts in our hands the power to submit to the States this and all kindred questions. Congress has heretofore effectually exercised that power. Suppose the negro had been remanded to the several States; how many years of fruitless labor would have been entailed on him? Shall we treat the women of America worse than the negro?
Shall we deny to them the constitutional remedy that we gave to him?
Our precedents justify their appeal to the American Congress. Surely we are not afraid to submit this question to the people. Whether we are or are not we cannot logically say to these women we have not the power to submit an amendment recognizing their right to suffrage, for we have exercised heretofore similar powers; and we cannot insist on the impropriety of their asking us to exercise the power, for we have granted such a request when made on behalf of others.
(The suffrage and other rights of citizenship given to blacks after the abolition of slavery is in reference to the 14th and 15th amendments passed along with other legislations designed to uphold to rights and liberties of blacks and other nonwhites as guaranteed to all people under the Constitution with no respect to skin color or gender.
Men such as Cowan, Sargent, Pomeroy, and Hoar concluded that it would only be logical and just if women were afforded the same rights as men so as to remain faithful to the opening statements of the Declaration of Independence that state that all men---meaning mankind which includes both male and female---are created equal and therefore entitled to the same rights and liberties)
The Senator from Ohio says that these ladies whom it is proposed shall address the Senate represent nobody; they have no following, no constituents. He says they do not represent one-twentieth of the women in the United States. Another Senator chimes in and says,
sotto voce, "No, not one-fiftieth;" and one still more strong in his opinion of the matter says, "No, not one-hundredth."
I think this is an utter mistake. It is a mistake in the first place in saying that
These women represent nobody except themselves. They are here as delegates from State conventions held in all the States from which they come, from Oregon to Massachusetts.
I have met delegates regularly appointed, as I understand, from southern States.
I know they are here from various States and claiming to represent State conventions assembled, which gave them credentials. What constitutes a representative capacity?
Can a representative capacity only exist after they shall have" stormed the
Senate" and House and the occupant of the White House and got legislation authorizing them to meet in State conventions and appoint delegates?
If that is necessary in order that they may have a representative capacity to be delegates from somebody, of course they are not thus qualified at the present moment.
But they do represent an earnest, deep-seated feeling and movement in the various States of the country, and I call your attention to the significant fact that away in Colorado where the question was discussed pro and con, where there was a large population which on account of its peculiar ideas in religion and its peculiar education was naturally opposed to any such movement--I refer to the Spanish population--that under most adverse circumstances perhaps, and in a remote State, they got over one-third of the votes which were cast upon the constitutional provision submitted for decision.
In some of the towns in Colorado they received a majority of the votes, towns occupied by men of a different class to that to which I have referred, intelligent white people with their families, surrounded by the most wholesome influences. In some of those towns they received a considerable majority of the votes that were cast at the
election. In any State where the question can be tried there would be a similar or better result.
Our ''old fogies" are asleep and not noting the signs of the times. Talk about these women representing nobody! Let us look further East. In Kansas woman suffrage obtained as many votes as did negro suffrage when it was submitted, although it had no political organization to support it and no press to advocate it, while negro suffrage had at its back the republican party and press of the State, with offices and other favors to bestow.
Have these women no constituency?
Do they represent no one in the State of Michigan where forty thousand men voted for woman suffrage?
It cannot be denied that these voters were among the best, the most moral voters of the
State. Few recruits for such a cause will be drawn from the grog shop or dens of vice. In Minnesota women enjoy the right of suffrage on school matters.
In two of the organized Territories they have it on all matters. Thousands of women hold offices under the national and State governments all innovators. in American politics. In every legislative body where the question has been mooted a respectable vote has been of late given for it. [7]
(Referring to the fact that suffrage for women was already being supported by a substantial number of men, that women were already holding positions of power within lower levels of government, and that suffrage had already been granted to women in some states to a limited extent.
Grogshops may have been establishments of disreputable and dishonorable character such as bars or saloons.)
Again, the amendment was never voted on. Instead, the following recommendation was given by the Senate:
This proposed amendment forbids the United States or any State to deny or abridge the right to vote on account of sex.
If adopted, it will make several millions of female voters, totally inexperienced in political affairs, quite generally dependent upon the other sex, incapable of performing military duty and without the power to
enforce the laws which their numerical strength may enable them to make, and comparatively very few of whom wish to assume the irksome and responsible political duties which this measure thrusts upon them.
An experiment so novel, a change so great, should only be made slowly and in response to a general public demand, of the existence of which there is no evidence before your committee.
Petitions from various parts of the country, containing by estimate about 30,000 names, have been presented to Congress asking for this legislation.
They were procured through the efforts of woman-suffrage societies, thoroughly organized, with active and zealous managers.
The ease with which signatures may be procured to any petition is well known.
The small number of petitioners, when compared with that of the intelligent women in the Country, is striking evidence that there exists among them no general desire to take up the heavy burden of governing, which so many men seek to evade.
It would be unjust, unwise, and impolite to impose that burden on the great mass of women throughout the country who do not wish for it, to gratify the comparatively few who do.
It has been strongly urged that without the right of suffrage, women are and will be subjected to great oppression and injustice, but everyone who has examined the subject at all knows that with
out female suffrage, legislation for years has Improved and is still improving the conditions of woman.
The disabilities imposed upon her by the common law have, one by one, been swept away until in most of the states, she has the full right to her property and all, or nearly all the
rights which can be granted without impairing or destroying the marriage relation.
These changes have been wrought by the spirit of the age and are not, generally at least, the result of any agitation by women on their own behalf, nor can women justly complain of any partiality in the administration of justice.
They have the sympathy of judges and particularly of juries to the extent which would warrant loud complaints on the part of their adversaries of the sterner sex.
Their appeals to legislatures against injustice are never unheeded and there is no doubt that when any considerable part of the women oft any State really wish for the right to vote: it will be granted without the intervention of Congress.
Any State may grant the right of suffrage to women. Some of them have done so to a limited extent, and perhaps with good results.
It is evident that in some States public opinion is much more strongly in favor of it than it is in others. Your committee regards it as unwise and inexpedient to enable three fourths in number of the States, through an amendment to the National Constitution, to force woman suffrage upon the other fourth in which the public opinion of both sexes may be strongly adverse to such a change.
For these reasons, your committee reports back said resolution with a recommendation that it be indefinitely postponed. [8]
(Their reasoning being that society was not ready for such a change at that time and that far too many women were not ready to be active participants in the civic process due to their inexperience and having remained far too dependent upon the participation of men who themselves were reluctant to be participants in the political process especially when it came to taking on governing roles, and that there was a substantial number of women who themselves were against universal suffrage, that the matter of women’s suffrage was best resolved at the state level instead of the national level, that injustices against women were already being rectified to the point that they were already enjoying virtually the same rights as men without the need for suffrage and without doing damage to marital relationships or the traditional family structure)
In 1882, Republican Senator George Hoar managed to succeed in having a motion passed for the formation of a committee on women’s suffrage [9] which then recommended that an amendment be passed granting women’s suffrage, [10] but the amendment still never made it to a vote and the Republican the Republican majority in the Senate in the years of both 1878 and 1882 was too narrow for the required two-thirds majority to be attained. [11, 12]
When the next attempt to pass the women’s suffrage amendment did take place in 1887, it was blocked by Democrats, [13, 14] as the Republican majority was still too narrow to acquire the required two-thirds vote for its passage, voted down by a Democrat controlled Senate in 1914, [15, 16] and once more under the same party in 1918 by just two votes [17, 18] even in spite of a speech on behalf of women’s suffrage made by then President Woodrow Wilson [19] though bipartisan support for the amendment had increased significantly.
When Republicans regained control of the Senate in 1919, [20] the women’s suffrage amendment, after initially failing to pass in January of that same year by one vote [21] was finally passed six months later with bipartisan support. [22]
So after much resistance to and stalling of women’s suffrage in the Senate, even under Republican control, why should Republicans historically be called the party of women’s suffrage?
Two factors to consider:
1. Legislative attempts to grant women the right to vote so as they could have the same representation in government as men were initiated by Republican Senators, even if the Republican party was not necessarily united on the matter.
Not one Democrat ever made such an attempt.
2. Women’s suffrage had been defeated twice under a Democrat controlled Senate and then twice blocked by them when they had lost control of the Senate to Republicans due to the Republican majority being too small for them to acquire the required two-thirds of the Senate votes needed to pass a Constitutional amendment granting suffrage to women.
The Republican controlled Senate finally did succeed in acquiring the two-thirds majority needed to pass the women’s suffrage amendment in June of 1919 but only because Democrat resistance had been broken down by then President Woodrow Wilson’s attempts to persuade his own party to support the women’s suffrage amendment with would become the 19th amendment of our Constitution.
Historically, Democrats have been the party of slavery, the infamous Indian removal act, the KKK, segregation, abortion, and initially suppressors of the female vote, but of course, leftwing and misandristic feminists don’t want anyone to know that it was Democrats who suppressed the women’s vote when they had control of the Senate.
The Republican party, historically, though not always united in every civil rights cause, is the party that freed the slaves, that initially attempted to end segregation, and whose members initiated efforts to grant women the right to vote but for which Democrats persist in taking full credit and the reason why the Republican party was historically the party of civil right for all people, including women, is because they believed that all people are created equal in the sight of God as set forth in the opening statements of our Declaration of Independence whereas Democrats historically have suppressed the rights of both women, the unborn, and non-whites.
While granted that the Republican party is not without its own faults and failures, there still continues to be a different spirit at work within it than what has been or continues to be at work within the Democrat party.
One party continues to be governed by a spirit of life, freedom, justice, and equality (at least for now)
The other is governed by supremacy, oppression, tyranny, and a culture of death and corruption.
But no matter how well-intended the purposes and goals of any given political party might be, no political party is going to be able to solve every evil since political parties, even the best of them, are subject to failure, disgrace, and corruption themselves because they are run and operated by corruptible people who bring their corrupt tendencies into the party which is why no political party, no matter how honorable and respectable the platform they run on might be, will ever be worthy of anyone’s full trust because the people appealing to and running on the tenets of the platform of that respective political party will not always live up to those tenets and in some cases, even betray one or more of those tenets, which is why when we do vote for any given candidate for any given elected position at any level or branch of government, we are not so much voting for a person as we are voting for a set of tenets and policies that we want to see implemented and how we vote really comes down to what it is that we really believe in and how consistent we are with how we vote also shows how faithful and committed we are to what we believe in but sadly many voters either don’t know what it is that they really believe in or don’t understand what it is that they profess to believe in and until they do decide what it is that they believe in and have a proper and informed understanding of what it is that they believe in, they will never have any hope in getting the results they desire in their entirety.
But even under the best of circumstances, politics is not going to solve or put an end to every evil and every injustice because even under the best of circumstances, as long as the world as we know it to be endures, politics will continue to be carried out and run by corruptible persons and the best that the populace can do is select the most just and most principled of leadership and governance that can be found, but we will never be able to establish a perfect form of government because that would require a perfect people and there is no such thing as a perfect people.
And as long as there is no such thing as a perfect people, there will always be those in positions of power, no matter what ideology they claim to represent and champion, who will not always uphold and implement what we elected them to do, who will serve interests other than the general welfare of the republic, who will betray the public trust, and who will even implement stifling, unjust, and oppressive policy but that can only be minimized by a people sound in morals and principle.
The moral and spiritual condition of any government is only reflective of what the people are which is why a moral and just government will not long last with a people who are in spiritual and moral darkness, and likewise, an unjust, unprincipled, corrupt, evil, and oppressive government will not last long with a morally sound and principled people.
If a people don’t like the condition and nature of the government that they are under, then the first thing that needs to change is not the government, but the people, because effective, long lasting change begins, not from the top down, but from the bottom up.
As I have said in previous other blogposts, it is not enough to simply drain the swamp because if the swamp is not attacked at itself, it will only continue to replenish itself. Not only must the filthy water be drained, the plug that is preventing it from being drained must be identified and removed, the breaches through which the water is pouring in must be identified and repaired, and the fountains from which the water is being spewed forth must be removed and replace with fountains that produce better water.
The civil rights leaders and advocates of past generations, including women’s rights advocates were not looking for supremacy. They were not looking to overthrow established authorities. And they were not looking for retribution. All they wanted was for the same laws and standards to be applied to them as to anyone else. They only wanted the same rights and liberties as everyone else and for their rights and liberties to be upheld and protected as those of anyone else, even appealing to such sacred documents such as the Declaration of Independence and to an authority higher than that which was the authority to which the opening statements to the Declaration of Independence appeal.
But today, it seems that the present so-called civil rights movements don’t seem to understand what equality, justice, and fairness are and have instead mistaken retribution and supremacy for equality, justice, and fairness because they have rejected the very source of equality, fairness, and justice and that very source of equality, fairness, and justice, is also the that same source of truth, liberty, and moral order and in rejecting the authority of that source, there has been a loss of moral, social, judicial, intellectual, and political clarity and in place of that much needed clarity has arisen moral, social, judicial, intellectual, and political confusion and dysfunction and the only way that we will ever have moral, social, judicial, intellectual, and political clarity again is if we, as a people and nation, return to the very source of equality, justice, fairness, liberty, and moral order to which the founders of this nation and past generations of civil rights advocates appealed and that is the Lord God Almighty who is the Creator of all things and is the source of all things which is why it is by God alone that the concepts of truth, equality, justice, fairness, morality and liberty are defined and it is with Him alone these things begin and without whom these things would not be and it is only with Him that there can ever be a perfect equality, a perfect justice, moral perfection, and a perfect liberty, but that will require the elimination of that which is imperfect, flawed, and corruptible and presently, we are all born in an imperfect, flawed, and corruptible world and we are all born with an inherently corrupt nature and in a state of moral imperfection and so the inherent corrupt nature of man is brought into everything he builds and establishes, including those things that are built and established with the best and most honorable of intentions, which is if there is to be a society that lives up to the tenets of equality, the inherent corruption must first be purged from its people, but with man, this will never be done, but with God, it can be done and it is what He requires because He is not satisfied with just an outward performance or application, but demands an inward change of the people of any society that seeks fairness and equality as it He decreed it to be, because as long as mankind remains fallen and imperfect in nature, there will never be a perfect freedom, fairness, or equality for all; there will always be those who will apply a standard to others they would never have applied to themselves and apply to themselves standards that they will not apply to others and who will set themselves above their fellowpersons for reasons having nothing to do with merit or character and it is for this reason that our Creator demands, “cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also” (Mt. 23:16) because it is from the defilement that resides from within each souls that inequalities, prejudices, and all other forms of evil and wickedness are produced (Mt. 15:11, 18-20) and before there can be justice, equality, and fairness for all as God intended, the inward person must first be changed from that which is prideful and prejudiced to that which seeks to be fair and just to all, just as God Himself is fair and just to all because He made all of mankind in His image, both male and female (Gen. 1:26), applies the same law to both (Num. 15:16) and therefore bestows upon them the same rights and liberties, is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34) because He has made both equal in His sight (Gal. 3:28, Col. 3:11) and that is all that the movements for women’s rights and suffrage and other civil rights movements had initially wanted; nothing more and that is exactly how God created all people to be and men and women to be to each other; as equals. He never created one people to be masters over another or one sex to rule the other but when God created the world, He created the world to be place of perfect uninterrupted unity and harmony between Himself, man, and nature but the reason why it is not so presently is due to a fateful consequential act of disobedience of the first man Adam and the first woman Eve who was the wife of Adam which would bring the world into its presently corrupted and fallen condition, when they had eaten of a fruit from a certain tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, having been warned by God that in the day that they would eat thereof, they would surely die (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3) but before the transgression, there was no sin and there was no death in the world, neither was there any pain, suffering, or hardship because the world was created in a state of perfection, but when the transgression was committed, it was in that day that sin entered into the world through Adam and his wife Eve and with that sin came the sentence of death upon them of which they had been warned (Gen. 3:19) and to which they eventually succumbed.
But the consequences of that act of disobedience did not stop with Adam and Eve, but were extended to the rest of mankind who are descended from them for it is from Adam and Eve that the sin that entered into them was inherited by all of mankind (Rom. 5:12) sin being defined not by just an evil act or ill-spoken words but by the corrupted condition of our nature which not only influences our outward behavior and what we speak, but it also influences our thoughts, motives, and attitudes which then, if given into, produce what is said and the acts that are done which is why it is written that we are not defiled by what comes from without but what is from within (Mt. 15:11, 18-20) and which is why that we all sin and fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23) which in turn subjugates us to death which is why it is written that the wages of sins is death (Rom. 6:23) but the consequences of Adam and Eve’s disobedience still does not stop with even mankind, but extends to all of creation and is why death, sin, suffering, pain, sorrow, grief, anguish, and evil abound in this present world and throughout all of creation which is why it is written that the entire creation groans and travails in pain to this day (Rom. 8:19-22) and it is due to this inherent sinful condition that we experience oppression, injustice, and inequality and when the evil of this world reaches a certain measure, it will be done away with but that requires also the elimination of all of those who persist in remaining in their sins and taking pleasure in all that which is displeasing and dishonoring to God but the day of judgment is withheld because God does not take pleasure in punishment or destruction, but takes pleasure in showing love and mercy because He is a God of love and of mercy who is not willing that any should perish nor that any should be shut out of the Kingdom of Heaven, but that all would come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9) which is why in His love for us and in His mercy, He has provided a means of redemption that satisfies both the demanded penalty for all sin and the demand for mercy to be shown in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior whom God sent into the world to offer Himself up on our behalf for our sins and to take away the sins of the world which He did by His death on the cross upon which He was crucified whose sinless blood (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15) purchased redemption on behalf of sinful man and after having purchased our redemption in His death, was raised again from the dead so that we, if we will but place our faith in Him for the forgiveness of our sin and for the salvation of our souls, will be made justified in Him in the sight of God the Father. (Rom. 4:25)
And it is the redemption of our souls that we receive in us an inward transformation (2 Cor. 5:17) that causes us to no longer desire to follow after selfish and worldly pursuits but after those things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven,
to no longer take pleasure in those things that are evil and displeasing in the sight of the Lord, but in that which is good, right, and pleasing in His sight,
to no longer desire to walk in the lies of this present world, but only in the truth that comes from Christ Almighty who is the source of all truth, (Jn. 14:6)
no longer placing our hopes in the things of this present world, but looking forward to that new and better world to come, (Rev. 21-22)
to no longer rely on worldly resources, men, or even our own power, abilities, skills, and wisdom for our needs and provision but upon God who is able to meet all of our needs, recognizing that the resources of this world and even the people He brings into our lives are but instruments and vessels through which God meets our needs and that the skills, power, knowledge, and wisdom by which we might acquire our provision are provided and instilled in us by God, (Mt. 6:25-33)
to no longer fear what men can do to us, but rather fearing the God before whom we will have to one day give an account for how we lived our lives, (Mt. 10:28)
to no longer look to corruptible institutions within our society for direction and order in our lives but to God who, by His written Word has given us laws and precepts to be applied to our lives and which serve to produce and maintain an ordered life, and who, by His Holy Spirit which comes to dwell within us upon repentance, establishes in our lives a course and direction in our lives to pursue for His glory,
to no longer seek our own glory but the glory of God,
to no longer rally behind corruptible men, but instead behind the incorruptible God in Heaven bearing in mind that those men and women God raises up for our edification are but instruments and servants of His for that respective purpose to which He has called them,
to no longer seek to align ourselves with the things of darkness but only with the things of the light,
to no longer trust in the wisdom of the world but only on the wisdom and knowledge that comes from above, (Jas. 1:5) nor depend on corruptible earthly authorities to swiftly administer justice, but only in the power of God to deliver us from evil.
And just as our souls have been cleansed of sin, so one day we will also be liberated from bodily death when the forms subject to death and corruption in which we live are transformed into that which is incorruptible (2 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) and in that which is incorruptible there is no sin and where there is no sin, there is no death, which is why when our bodies are turned into sinless forms, they will no longer die, and after we have been liberated from death, creation itself will also be liberated from the curse that has come upon it due to the transgression of Adam when it is made anew and when it is made anew, there will be no death, no sin, no evil, no suffering, no hardship, no pain, no grief, and no sadness, but only be light, life, happiness, joy and contentment before the Lord God Almighty who will make His dwelling among men. (Rev. 21-22)
If you have not already done so and want to be assured that you will be admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven, there is no better assurance of that but through Christ Jesus. It is just a sincere prayer of repentance away:
"Lord Jesus I need you.
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
Amen."
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.
