Question

what government action prompted the organization of two womens suffrage groups in 1869?
○ the arrest of margaret sanger
○ the announcement of catts \winning plan\
○ the passage of the fifteenth amendment
○ the passage of the nineteenth amendment

Explanation:

• The arrest of Margaret Sanger was related to birth control advocacy, not women's suffrage groups in 1869.
• Catt's "Winning Plan" was for later suffrage efforts, not in 1869.
• The Fifteenth Amendment (1870) focused on Black male suffrage, but its passage led to a split in the women's suffrage movement, prompting the organization of two groups in 1869 (NWSA and AWSA) due to disputes over whether women should support it without explicit inclusion.
• The Nineteenth Amendment was ratified in 1920, much later than 1869.

Answer:

C. the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment
