Nonetheless, a fracture created among women's activists over the proposed fifteenth Amendment (giving the vote to dark men), when conspicuous ladies of society, for example, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, declined to underwrite the correction since ladies were excluded; while different suffragists, for example, Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe contended that ladies would all the more promptly accomplish their objective once the dark man was emancipated. The contention brought about two separate associations, the National Woman Suffrage Association, working at the government level (squeezing likewise for property rights for ladies), and the American Woman Suffrage Association, which expected to secure the poll through state enactment.
