VOTING RIGHTS IN AMERICA

In colonial America, who established the precedent that only white, property-owning men would have the right to vote? How did African Americans and Native Americans gain full citizenship and federally recognized voting rights? Who were some of the biggest names in the struggle for women's suffrage? Why and when was it decided that 18-year-olds should have the right to vote? What are some of the obstacles to guaranteeing full voting rights to all Americans? How does one register to vote? Are there ways for kids to get involved? We've answered all these questions in this issue of COBBLESTONE, where we take a comprehensive look at the history of voting rights in America.
