After the 1848 birth of the women’s suffrage movement in America, it took almost three-quarters of a century for the 19th Amendment to be ratified. Why so long?

Description:
Longstreet at Gettysburg: The Creation of a Scapegoat and Perpetuation of a Lie
Learn how an agenda-driven, postwar campaign against James Longstreet's alleged actions at the Battle of Gettysburg has been perpetuated by numerous twentieth century and modern historians for well over a century. By way of cherry-picking source material, stretching the bounds of historical interpretation, and sometimes advancing blatant supposition, many historians have regularly misconstrued Longstreet's Gettysburg performance. As a result, because of his significant role there, and despite the publication of hundreds of books on Gettysburg, several historians have often presented students and scholars of the war with an incomplete history of the Confederate side of the battle.

Cory M. Pfarr works for the Department of Defense and is an American History author whose main interests span America's Revolutionary to Civil War years. He is the author of "John Quincy Adams's Republicanism: 'A Thousand Obstacles Apparently Stand Before Us'" (Massachusetts Historical Society, 2014) and Longstreet at Gettysburg: A Critical Reassessment (McFarland Publishers, 2019). He has also written articles for North & South Magazine and Gettysburg Magazine, and has appeared on the Pennsylvania Cable Network and C-SPAN American History TV. He lives in Pikesville, Maryland with his wife and three kids.

Description:
"The ratification of the 19th Amendment was a landmark moment in American history that dramatically changed the electorate, and although it enshrined in the U.S. Constitution fuller citizenship for women many remained unable to vote." - Jennifer N. Johnson, Rightfully Hers co-curator

Rightfully Hers, a new popup exhibition from the National Archives, commemorates the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Rightfully Hers contains simple messages exploring the history of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, women's voting rights before and after the 19th, and its impact today. Despite decades of marches, petitions, and public debate to enshrine a woman's right to vote in the Constitution, the 19th Amendment - while an enormous milestone - did not grant voting rights for all. The challenges of its passage reverberate to today's ongoing fight for gender equity.

On view Jan 27 - May 31
