Nearly 50 years between African Americans and women being given suffrage rights.

Explanation:

At the conclusion of the Civil War between the Union and Confederate States in 1865, a series of Constitutional Amendments were ratified:

13th Amendment: ratified at the conclusion of the Civil War in 1865, this Amendment abolished slavery within all states in the Union.14th Amendment: ratified a year after the 13th Amendment in 1866, this Amendment granted citizenship to all people born in the United States of America, including African Americans.15th Amendment: granted suffrage (right to vote) to all African American men in the Union. Ratified February 26, 1870.

As shown in the 15th Amendment, women were still left out out voting rights. This was mainly because the reason Republicans so strongly felt a need to give African Americans freedom was so that they could have more voters for their party. Not because they felt that there should be equality for all U.S citizens, at least for the most part. Thus women, who were thought of as inferior and/or weaker than men, were not given the right to vote until the Progressive Era.

19th Amendment: ratified by congress in 1919, this Amendment gave women the right to vote. Women had the opportunity in the far west to vote for city and state governors, but the election of 1920 was the first Presidential election that women could participate in.

The answer is C. almost 50 years.

The fifteenth amendment, enacted in 1870, prevented states from denying the right to vote on the grounds of “race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” Unfortunately, even after the passing of this amendment, black men still faced barriers to voting due to post-reconstruction Black Codes and other state condoned ways to prevent black Americans from voting.

Women were given the right to vote in 1920 with the enactment of the Nineteenth Amendment.
