Letter: Suffragists and Anti- Suffragist

To Susan,
We think what you did was so brave. I just cannot believe that you voted. We think that was really courageous, and very awesome. We are the suffragists and we think that we couldn't have done that even for the women's suffrage. We know that it's very uncomfortable and scary in the jail, please be patient and be safe. We are going to help you pay the bail and make you go out. We also think that women should vote because every human should be treated equal. We are all humans! Don't loose courage!
From. The suffragists

To Susan,
We think that it was so stupid of you to vote when you weren't supposed to. You knew you were going to get arrested. Didn't you? Give up already. Only because you did that you think people are going to give you "Women" the right to vote? We think just even having those things in your heads are so dumb. I'll tell you a fact. "Women will never get their right to vote:” Want to know another fact? "It is never going to work." We wish you guys just don't come out of there. You guys shouldn't vote. Think about it, you women are so dumb. You guys are so dumb that you might vote twice because you think you chose the wrong choice. Also another thing, you women are so emotional. You'll choose a person because you feel sorry for them and you think they are so handsome or pretty. Anyways Have Fun (in jail)!
From. Anti-suffragists



Reflection: In this letter, two different groups of people, the suffragists and the anti- suffragists are sending a letter to Susan B. Anthony when she got arrested because she voted. The suffragists were the people who were for the women's suffrage. They wanted women to have their right to vote. They thought it was wrong to for women to not have their right to vote. But in the other side, the anti-suffragists thought it was wrong for women to have a right to vote. They thought women should just work at home, they thought that why should women come out to public and be part of the politics. This letter shows the comparison between the suffragists and the anti- suffragists. It shows that the suffragists think that Susan B. Anthony was very brave and think it was right to do that and the anti- suffragists think that it was really dumb for Susan B. Anthony to vote when she knew she was going to get arrested for voting.
