The Territory of Wyoming passes the first law in the nation giving women over age 21 the right to vote. After joining the Union in 1890, Wyoming becomes the first state to permit women the right to vote in all elections, although in 1887, Kansas al- lowed women to vote in municipal elec- tions. The colonies adopt the English system of property ownership for married women, meaning women cannot own property in their own name or keep their own earnings. By 1900, every state will have passed leg- islation modeled after New York?s Mar- ried Women?s Property Act (1848), which grants married women the right to keep their own wages and to own property in their own name. 1769 1848 1868 1869 1869 Racial Equality Issue Splits Two Suffrage Associations

The Republican and Democratic Parties The modern Democratic Party evolved from the Jeffersonian Republican Party, led and organized by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The Jeffersonian Republican Party arose as a response to the Federalist Party, headed by Alexander Hamilton and John Adams. Jeffersonian Republicans favored republicanism, a political ideology that emphasizes the unalienable rights of people, a weak federal government, state?s rights, agrarian societal emphasis, and a strict adherence to the principles of the Constitution. The party also opposed the national bank and demoted relations with Great Britain.

APUSH Midterm Review Notes 2014 3/5 Compromise: the compromise that stated that a slave could count at 3/5 of a person in a population count that determined a state?s representation in the House of Representatives Anne Hutchinson & Antinomianism: Anne Hutchinson was a woman in the Massachusetts Bay Colony that had a strong belief that disagreed with the Puritan idea of predestination. Hutchinson held weekly discussions in her house after Church, where Church members could discuss the sermon. Her extreme beliefs caused it to become evident that she believed in Antinomianism, a view that the Puritans held as dangerous, and believed that God could intervene at anytime to save a person, thereby disagreeing with predestination.

Jung 3 YeonJun Jung Mrs. Pelosi AP Language 7th Jan. 2010 Seminar notes Passage: pg. 14 on PDF The frightening thing, he reflected for the ten thousandth time as he forced his shoulders painfully backward (with hands on hips, they were gyrating their bodies from the waist, an exercise that was supposed to be good for the back muscles)--the frightening thing was that it might all be true. If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, IT NEVER HAPPENED--that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death?
