This course will provide an historical overview of voting rights and issues in the U.S., beginning with movements in the 18th and 19th centuries.  The course will cover the movement toward universal suffrage, including Seneca Falls, various successes and failures post-Civil War, and attaining the vote. We also will look at post-19th Amendment issues in the 20th and 21st century, such as the proposed Equal Rights Amendment and efforts to suppress voting rights and access for those with a legal right to vote.
