| American Minute with Bill Federer19th Amendment – Woman can vote! |
6,000 years of recorded world history reveal the most common form of government is monarchy.The most powerful monarch ever was the British King.
His vast empire at it peak controlled 13 million square miles – almost a quarter of the Earth’s land, and nearly half billion people – one-fifth of the world’s population at the time.
The Revolutionary War separated America from Britain and soon other countries began rejecting their monarchs and replacing them with elected representative governments called republics.
America’s Civil War and the 13th Amendment ended slavery. This was followed by a Republican Congress pushing through the 14th Amendment – giving rights to freed slaves, and the 15th Amendment – assuring to freed slaves the right to vote.
The momentum of the anti-slavery movement was channeled into the women’s suffrage movement to allow women to vote and the temperance movement to prohibit alcohol.
The women’s suffrage movement spread in the late 1800’s thru many countries, including Sweden, Finland, Britain, New Zealand, Australia, and in America.
After World War I, American men voted for women to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment, AUGUST 26, 1920: “The right of citizens of the U.S. to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”
After World War II, war-torn and post-colonial countries adopted new governments which allowed women to vote, joined by other emerging nations, such as: France 1944
Iraq 1980
With the expansion of voting came efforts to manipulate voters through public opinion, race-baiting, fear-mongering, government handouts, and voter fraud. A leader in the women’s suffrage movement was Susan B. Anthony, praised by President Gerald Ford, February 13, 1976:
The irreversible change she wrought…led to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment.”
“Ladies! There is no Neutral position for us…If we sustain not this noble enterprise…then is our influence on the side of Intemperance.
And now permit me once more to beg of you to lend your aid to this great Cause, the Cause of God and all Mankind.”
“A year before the 19th amendment was adopted the League of Women Voters was founded, and that organization, in the past 50 years, has played a major role in this Nation on a nonpartisan basis… Since about 1947, a tremendously escalating role of women in politics in the United States… I often say that men do the talking and women do the working in campaigns…”
“As we look at the past 50 years we wonder what could happen in the next 50 years… As I look around the world and as I find that India has a woman Prime Minister, Ceylon has a woman Prime Minister, Israel has a woman Prime Minister…”
“I have read a fiery gospel
“Who has not heard of Molly Pitcher, whose heroic services at the Battle of Monmouth helped the sorely tried army of George Washington! We have been told of the unselfish devotion of the women who gave their own warm garments to fashion clothing for the suffering Continental Army during that bitter winter at Valley Forge. The burdens of the war were not all borne by the men…”
Since 1880 there has been a marked increase in the tendency to remain away from the polls on the part of those entitled to vote… Election day in the olden times was generally considered more or less sacred – one to be devoted to the discharge of the obligations of citizenship… If the people fail to vote, a government will be developed which is not their government… Such a system of government is doomed to failure.” For God’s Glory Alone Ministries thank Bill Federer and www.AmericanMinute.com
