300 Years is a LONG Time • We are now going to make a human timeline. • We will begin in 1620 when Pilgrim men voted on the way the colony should be governed. • There may be important dates marked along the way… • I will each of you a date arrange yourselves in chronological order.
Timeline Questions • How many years from the time white men voted until women voted? • How many years did all women try to get the vote? • How many years did white men try to get the vote? • FYI… black men got the vote right after the Civil War . In the south Jim Crow Laws prevented all blacks from voting but that is a story for another day…
Make Three Picket Signs Make 3 Picket signs on the hand out…. Make one picket sign-Anti- Slavery Make one picket sign- Temperance (Anti- Alcohol) Make one picket sign- Women ‘s Right to Vote
Examples of Picket Signs • Make 3 more…
Finally… • On August 26 , 1920 -300 years after white men , 27 million WOMEN got the vote. All the heroines who fought so hard were gone but their legacy allows the choices you and I have today. We can vote, go to college, wear pants, speak to any group, own our personal belongings including property, have any career we want .. Thanks, Ladies
