Yeah, but she didn’t want black men to vote if white women couldn’t. The disagreement led Anthony and Stanton to form the National Woman Suffrage Association, which focused exclusively on a federal amendment for women’s right to vote. In their push for the vote, they sometimes pandered to white Southerners by arguing that enfranchising white women would help outweigh the Black male vote. This strategy alienated many Black suffragists, such as Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, who felt their specific struggles were being ignored.
