The 1920's was fertile ground for many political movements. With The sufferage campaign leading to the nintenth amendment a few years earlier, proved almost anything thing could be acomplished in a prejudiced society.
The Forming of ACLU- (American Civil Liberteis Union) A Union started to support the rights promised by the bill of rights, as well as several other things including protecting teh rights of immigrants.
Anti-Sufrage Movements- With the sufrage campaign brought prejudice, however the anti-sufrage campaigns didn't end after the nintenth amendment was passed they stayed alive for several years until it finally died out in the late 20's.
Equal Rights Amendment- Was founded by women after teh sufrage campaign to improve womens rights even more.
Now the next two are something i've never even herd of, and i don't even know how to describe them...
The Founding of ABCL- (American Birth Control League) The forming of a national comitte to grant dotors permition to help create birth control technology adn medications as well as raise awareness of Birth Control and open Birth Control clinics.
Anti-Lynching Crusades- A Policital movement spearheaded by the NAACP, with msot of its followers being black women, they attempted to raise money to help pass and gian support for anti lynching bills. While Former attempts had been made none where passed. However even this attempt failde adn lynchign didn't become a federal offense until 1965. ( For anyoen who doesn't know lynching is usually done by a mob and involves hanging people from tree's or burning at the stake, google at your own risk its very disturbing.)
