• Question 9: Both the Women’s Suffrage Movement and the Civil Rights Movement focused on securing the right to vote for disenfranchised groups.

They did not refuse to support church and religious leaders (many religious leaders supported these movements).
• Question 10: Looking at the map, before 1920, many western states had equal suffrage for women (dark - shaded areas). Eastern states had more partial or no suffrage.
