Question

the passage of the fifteenth amendment in 1869 prompted the formation of two major suffrage organizations because

it marked a great success for the abolition movement, which many feminists opposed.

it granted formerly enslaved men the right to vote, while women were still denied this right.

it put a halt to carrie chapman catt’s “winning plan” and set back the cause of women’s suffrage.

it granted women the right to vote in western states but not in eastern states.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: Feminists generally supported the abolition movement, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: The Fifteenth Amendment (1870, ratified after 1869 passage) granted African American men the right to vote, but women (including white and Black women) were still denied suffrage. This disparity led to the formation of major suffrage organizations as women sought equal voting rights.
• Option 3: Carrie Chapman Catt's "Winning Plan" was later, and the Fifteenth Amendment didn't halt it; this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The Fifteenth Amendment was about men's suffrage, not women's suffrage by region; this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. it granted formerly enslaved men the right to vote, while women were still denied this right.
