Equality+Leaders+&+Accomplishments

During the times of the Women’s Movement there were religious groups that opposed Women having more rights, because it was considered holier to have the title of Wife, to stay at home and raise kids. The Roman Catholic Church was the main group that focused on the women suffrage. In 1906, 29 percent of Nebraska State claimed to be affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. In Nebraska, is where a lot the sexism was occurring, the German Catholics were trying to prohibit sales of alcohol to women including voting rights. A big Group that opposed the Civil Rights Movement was the Ku Klux Klan which was a white supremacy organization that was racist to blacks and wanted them to be segregated.
