▪ American organization
organization that, from 1866 to 1869, worked to “secure Equal Rights to all American citizens, especially the right of
suffrage, irrespective of race,
color, or sex.”
Founded on May 10, 1866, during the Eleventh National Woman's Rights Convention, the AERA met its first test in 1867. In that year Kansas, a Republican state, voted down two separate referenda granting suffrage to blacks and women, respectively. During the Kansas campaign, organization founders Elizabeth Cady Stanton (
Stanton, Elizabeth Cady) and Susan B. Anthony (
Anthony, Susan B.) had accepted the help of a known racist, alienating abolitionist members as well as AERA president Lucretia Mott (
Mott, Lucretia).
