Women's Suffrage: Crash Course US History #31

- In which John Green teaches you about American women in the Progressive Era and, well, the progress they made. So the big deal is, of course, the right to vote women gained when the 19th amendment was passed and ratified. But women made a lot of other gains in the 30 years between 1890 and 1920. More women joined the workforce, they acquired lots of other legal rights related to property, and they also became key consumers in the industrial economy. Women also continued to play a vital role in reform movements. Sadly, they got Prohibition enacted in the US, but they did a lot of good stuff, too. The field of social work emerged as women like Jane Addams created settlement houses to assist immigrants in their integration into the United States. Women also began to work to make birth control widely available. You'll learn about famous reformers and activists like Alice Paul, Margaret Sanger, and Emma Goldman, among others.

I'm not sure if I missed this in the video, but it's worth pointing out that the main reason women wanted men to stop drinking wasn't because of being like prude or chast, it was because with alcoholism comes irresponsibility and domestic violence. It wasn't that they wanted to get rid of alcohol per say, they wanted to make their communities and their homes safer and more stable and I feel like this important point is over glossed over. Even today in communities where alcoholism is rampant there are higher rates of domestic violence.
I like that John addresses him from the past. It reminds me that personal growth is real and the idiots at my school might not remain idiots forever.

Also true
I’ve never seen words this beautiful on the internets.
This is really great commeny
+harley (etc.): Some will. Some won't. But some definitely will.
"my god that is a fantastic hat...wait, votes for women?!" lol, hilarious
I notice that the list of national shames at 2:00 doesn't include our treatment of native americans... I would consider that pretty high up there.
Everyone knows that the Chicago Cubs had it worse off than the Native American's!
I mean look at today, I'm part Native American, but to everyone else, I am just a Cis White Male who is apart of the Patriarchy.
"[Babies] basically eat money, and we love them." -John Green
Because there are a LOT of national shames, and only so much screen space. This was not intended to be an exhaustive list. -stan
The Cubs are more than enough
This is old and not popular
Smoov Cat sir this isn’t a neo confederate meeting
@Smoov Cat in that case men who do don't go to the military shouldnt get to vote
@Smoov Cat Feminism and equality ARE the same things. That's like saying "Water? No thanks, I prefer H20." Not my fault that you're uneducated af.
im really disappointed how they just brushed off the racism of the suffrage movement and how they did not say that black women where not allowed to vote in all states in the us until the civil rights movements in the 1960's so in reality the suffrage movement failed.
Me too, and I was planning to post that, until I saw your response. I think that the video glosses over differences of race and class under a “woman” tent. Also, the temperance movement was in response to high rates of alcoholism and domestic abuse that all an all male electorate refused to address. I hate it when historians don’t address this, making the women involved seem like simplistic idiots.
Yeah, black women were the ones who suffered the most. Not only were they african american's which were already treated disrespectfully, but they were women who didn't have as many rights to begin with.
@@belkisperez3871 Progress came slowly. Now look at black women today. Many black women today are well educated, have good jobs, independent, and many of them have made their mark in American society in many ways. Entertainment, science, business,...ect
oscar orozco orejel really but I yet to meet any black people that want to vote most that vote are Caucasians I don’t understand why black people don’t vote
@@jemcanalesable excuse me?... how many black ppl have u asked, firstly? and maybe because we know, that overtly its investing time in study, research and political interest, to be lied to, to see no result.. 2 party system is a fallacy in itself
"Turns out that women aren't things, they're people." Lol. Gee, really?
Bethany Campione unfortunately he’s had to point this out as some continue to think so
I know I'm learning this for school and my teacher was telling me everything that women were not allowed to do and during which time I was thinking to myself
"so back then women were not even alive they were just an object like a hat or pants." 🤣🤣
@@JenniferGonzalez-gx5qv Yes, but today, most people do not see women as things any more than they see men as things. Which is good.
That's why I find this man's condescending preaching annoying. It presumes men, in general, are sexist and need to be preached to by people like him. He made no effort to qualify his statements.
Imagine if he directed a similar criticism at women by declaring: "stop gold-digging and stop gossiping". He would be misrepresenting women in general while at the same time preaching to them to be more like him. He would be condemned as a sexist.
But, men are an easier target for virtue signalers these days. Just say something bad about men (it can even be false or inaccurate) and you immediately get moral points in liberal circles. Maybe, he will at some point find the courage, and intellectual accuracy, to make a habit of saying positive things about men too.
@@sgt7 Seriously my eyes have rolled so far back into my skull I doubt they will ever return to normal. He is, you know, talking about a hundred years ago when men were overwhelmingly sexist, so I'm not sure what your point is to bring up men today. Would you like to try actually defining what 'in general' is? 20%, 40%. In general meaning all aspects of life but just portions of it. You could also define 'liberal'. What does that mean? And what is 'virtue signalling'? By the way, women can also be sexist, I think you've demonstrated that admirably.
Wait...what!?!?!
HOLY CRAP! Been watching this Channel for months and just realized 'Mr Green! Mr Green' is the author of A Fault on Our Stars!!!
*slow clap*
Dan Green is. This is John, his brother
@@maxthefanboy7415 John Green wrote Fault in my Stars, Looking for Alaska and more. Hank Green does the web stuff like Crash Course and SciShow
My 7 and 9 year old sons want a ten hour video of you getting shocked by the shock pen.
I second the motion, though the length is open to barging
Same
Education is vital and the sacrifice would benefit not the few but many.
lol tht was rrealy unessisary srry if that was spelt rong im 9yrs old srry
@@zoiegilman9678 is what it is 😂
I just came here for the KNOWLEDGE.
Jill701 The Broken It's become so difficult to read politically-charged comments sections.
DevonCosmos :P Yea
Jill701 The Broken me too. Probably even everyone else or for something else
Jill701 same here but look what it’s turned into
That's what my dad said, and he gained knowledge from me. If you don't get joke then imma head out
"Women can enjoy sex?" Oh wow, what an amazing revelation😂😂😂
Half of women regularly fake orgasms so I think they had a point in being shocked.
Samuel Cake I know a girl who did that and they guy bragged about it and she instantly regretted it.
For all the focus on racism in the crash course episodes, I am a little surprised that there wasn't at least a one liner pinpointing Margaret Sanger's intense racism.
Not really surprising at all, I'm afraid.
Yeah that part of history is too "inconvenient" ... so they breezed over it.
Our culture has a way of only focusing on racism when it's convenient for leftists. This is one of those cases where it's not, because if they bring it up they will have to admit that some of the people whom they view as heroes of women's rights were actually despicable people, and that some of the things that they parade around and support are actually gross human rights violations! (I'm looking very directly at you, abortion.)
I mean racism was common in that era soooooo... they didn't need to focus on it I guess.
"They began a hunger strike and had to be force fed." Kind of underplays what was happening, they didn't have to be force fed they were force fed, which involved strapping them into chairs and forcing tubes down their throats then pouring milk, and raw eggs down the tubes (and hopefully not into their lungs where the tubes sometimes ended up). The article also omits quite a bit about the violence the women suffered from the male prison guards and police officers (beatings and worse).
Don't scroll down.
Just don't.
Bill The Bull Gates
😂😂 wut?Why are modern Feminazis comparing themselves to REAL useful feminists.
This video is specifically about first-wave.
it really is heartbreaking
IM GOING IN!
I want to tho
Thanks for the warning 😅
2:03 You can take the Cubs of the list. They won the World Series finally.
+
Don't forget the white feather campaign instigated by the Temperance movement..
Very important.
na, leave them there
Sorry about the next 107 years.
but still it was too long a wait
The thousand people who disliked this video are what historians call "poopy-heads."
One of my favourite videos on crash course! When I look at the comments, unfortunatly I may have lost my faith in humanity. Just because we didnt choose violence to get what we wanted, does not mean that we don't deserve basic human rights!
Zubeidat Mamiri Of course not lol where did you get that from? I'm not an idiot.
Isabelle Martin No one chooses violence
Who want to know who wants basic human rights?
An unborn baby. Stop whining. White women have it easier than anybody. Plus this movement hate black women and poor white and didn't want them to join.
+Jane Madison The unborn baby doesn't have a fully developed brain, no one does until they are in their twenties, so it probably just wants food and water.
They did in fact use violence.
You go, sisters! Er...great-great-great-great aunts. Without your efforts and sometimes horrible struggles, I, my mother, and my grandmother would not be able to speak up and be heard (sometimes) today. On behalf of half the world's population, I salute you.
Also the E.R.A. goes back _that_ far? Dang! Actually learned something new. :)
you are the reason I'm not failing history. thank u
I love this guy! I have learned so much! Most of the time, we forget about how important history and the people were!
National Shames perhaps should have bumped one of those in favor of the Trail of Tears.
@Smoov Cat no
Smoov Cat how about nobody registers for the draft instead
@Smoov Cat What a small and insecure life you must live, to wish that such a large population not have equal rights. Only a very weak person would have to hope for something like that. If you were strong, it wouldn't be a bother to you.
Smoov Cat gross take; why not?
@Smoov Cat awww cry me a river.
This was the first Crash Course I ever watched and since then it has introduced me to so many new ideas and ways of thinking and has made my speech much faster and harder to understand-as with my thoughts. This a strange, weird trip to the past that I am eternally greatful for.
2019 it's still useful you have no idea how many times you saved from failing my us history tests
I'm so sorry that your videos ment to educate people about the past have had the comment section filled with ignorance. Although this is the internet so there isn't much I can do.
If only i could like this comment more than once.
BeaverBatCatRat Make multiple accounts
Isak Svensson too much work. the time i could spend making multiple accounts could be used to watch more crash course XD
I wouldn't use the word educate.
Miles Hipke
Keep in mind - the Market of CZcams viewers includes a rather large group in the age category of (13- 18) and they are drawn to anything (education - to avert reading the book, ha and all topics that are Controversal) They "troll" like the kids in the 50's use to "cruise Main Street and make Prank Phone Calls) (same immaturity, his more and a dif era - quite a difference in ego arrogance also)
"Sociologist here" - ha!
These women are such badasses! Best episode of Crash course so far
Was that fucking Ellie from The Last Of Us at 5:22
I swear to god i love John Green
John doesn'tdo the video editing that's thought cafe
+Phyre Captor he also had a beautiful Halo reference in a previous episode. that is another reason why I like crash course
+Angry Egg im pretty sure you have thought cafe to thank for that
-4:47 Nausicaa!!!!!!
Magnificent episode. So much knowledge to munch munch, chomp chomp, gobble gobble, gulp.
It added a lot of context too, to how other women's movements failed and how the inclusion of all classes in a movement led to some progress.
John it would be awesome to see a Behind the Scenes video where you walk through all the research and preparation that goes into creating an episode of Crash Course History.
For the future viewers, here's an advice from me: DON'T GO DOWN THE COMMENT SECTION! THERE'S ENOUGH INNOCENT VICTIMS! WE NEED NO MORE! HELP YOURSELF!
+A Scam Involving Corndogs Your name XD
Thank you for the warning.Im not sure what i was thinking to go down here.
Thanks for the forewarning
Thank you!
Ah yes, because seeing other people's opinions is just oh-so-terrible.
Thicken up that skin, if you have any.
Your videos are great and a total lifesaver when it comes to my online college history class! Thank You!
0:15 a simp before simps existed
Lol I was thinking the same thing
haha

YAY the Women's Suffrage video!! I've been waiting for this! It was a good video especially the nice recap of Alice Paul and the NWP!!
These videos are AWESOME! Can't wait for the next video's. Nice work, CrashCourse!!
I absolutely love these videos- they're most of the reason I'm passing apush right now!
Someday I think it would be really awesome to see a Crash Course on physics! I'm not having the best time of it, and I'd imagine I'm not alone there. :)
John said that when his grandmother was born she couldn't vote in most of the states. It reminded me that when my parents were born they couldn't get married in most of the states. So many amazing changes occurred in the 20th century.
Happy International Women's Day
Thank you for this video, you series of Crash Course really helps me in school
We literally just started learning about Jane Addams and Hull house in my college class. When John mentioned her I fangirled like crazy.
as of 10/22/2016 The Cubs should be taken off the list of National Shame
Josh Becka GO CARDS!
Guess what. Now we have to wait for their next title. Only god knows when...................
Love the video.
I think I saw a reference to the show Father Ted!
Using this to study for U.S. history 2020, and I love how much nerdy stuff is pushed into these videos. Plus I love the Sons of Anarchy symbol in the mystery document.
that Princess Mononoke refernece at 4:44 tho
I’m a proud first wave feminist and I believe both men and women should respect each other equally. We are built differently and that’s ok because we compliment each other. We need to stop fighting and oppressing each other and start working as a team. Not all women want to stay at home, and not all men want to work. Communication and respect are important. The problem with the world is sexist ideologies and third wave feminists. They think the same but are in different teams. I’m glad we women have equal rights as men here in the United States.
4th wave now
To the brainwashed, the free thinker looks insane
+Dan Saint Exactly.
Dan Saint i agree
911 wasnt an inside job because the planes came from the outside
a requirement for feminism
@@user-ej3iw8lw3w It's a feminist requirement to look insane to the brainwashed? That's badass.
I LOVE how this was uploaded a DAY before my birthday last year
Oh my goodness thank you so much for this video! It's beautiful.
Drink every time John says “women”
I'm so glad my history teacher uses your videos for class assignments. I love your videos. You have another well deserved subscriber.
"Down with this sort of thing." Thought Cafe, you guys are legends. Fr Ted is comedy gold.
By far the best Thought Bubble animation ever
My goodness! We have come a long way! And we still have a long way to go!
I love to watch your videos in my history class they are more interesting than anything else in school, all I do is stare at a screen all day
These are the best history lessons I've ever had!
I'm struggling through APUSH and this helps so much. I love having an insane teacher that forces me to teach myself! Oh well...
To bad teachers arnt aloud to beat students anymore
The British Suffragettes and Suffragists were pretty damn awesome, too.
I recommend watching School House Rock's "Sufferin' Till Suffrage" in addition to this video. That helped me out (and a few others in my generation) a lot with remembering some of the facts of what led up to the 19th Amendment.
A kickin' good song as well :)
the Father Ted reference in Thought Bubble made my day. Too good.
Very entertaining! Thank you.
So funny when he says "skoodilypooping"
emma goldman wasn't arrested 40 times for her feminism alone lmfao
she was arrested 40 times for being an anarchist, AND a feminist
she's one of the better anarchist philosophers of all time
Thank you so much for your videos!!!
this video helped me on my history project
Hannah Montana in the bottom left at 5:37?
Not one mention of Susan B. Anthony. That's weird.
Love the princess Mononoke icon in the video, i also appreciate the video itself :)
The bubble about the yellow wallpaper made my day. :)
Any other fathers here as amused as I am with John's revelations concerning parenthood?
"That would've made Tumblr proud." Man, I'd like to see some pictures of Alice Paul's protests.
More is offered in this short video to your average CZcamsr than is offered almost anywhere else, and it's offered in a quick, easy-to-follow and easy-to-digest fashion.
I don't think the idea of the series is to liberate, it's to spread awareness and offer a glance at the bigger issue.
yeah, that's basically what I was going to say about my reason for referring to it as The US or United States, since there currently aren't any other places it could refer to, but since I'm Canadian, my opinion isn't really relevant, and I both respect and accept your preference.
Related note: I live close enough to USA to cross over regularly to contribute to your economy (I go shopping in Detroit at least monthly) and we, colloquially, refer to it simply as "The States"
John Green, I love your videos, huge fan. Please keep producing such great content. I would just like to take a moment to say however that I think Emma Goldman's deportation might have possibly had more to due with her being a radical anarchist than her views on contraception... Just one anarchist's opinion though. Love the work, keep it real!
Oh John Green, I will be your joie de vivre.
You willing to fight for him?
Completely unrelated, but I got a little too happy when I noticed the small Sons of Anarchy reference at 5:26. That made me love CrashCourse just a little bit more (as if the content wasn't enough to love haha)
This is amazing thank you
Other people be like: Why must women have the right to vote? Me be like: Why must men have the right to vote?
@Cj Not only men created society. You should educate yourself.
@Cj I guess you forget the Amazons. They were as brutal as men and they were real fighters. If you study history, you will find many women who contributed. You just have to study history to see that and also remember to be respectful because after all the person who gave you birth was a woman. She endured a pain men will never experience so have some respect.
The feminist movement changed our society, we have many rights we did not use to therefore they made a difference
@Cj well maybe if your iq wasn't in the double digits you would know how to make your own sandwich and not rely on a woman to do it for you :)
Me be like: Why must people fight sexism with sexism?
Carolina people created society, not just men.
in a way they paved the way for all women's rights regardless of who started it.and just because one had more opportunity then others they were not there free rights but there dictated rights. this also forced men to look at the women of every race regardless differently even if it was only minor changes to begin with this gave every race a lot more fire power because it gave them more power over their own rights because now there women would be able to have a voice of there own.
Is that a father ted reference at 10:03!! Love it!
Thanks for the compliment, but did ya mention anything regarding the actual pre and post (points of gains)?
wow Ellie from the Last of Us niiiiiice
OMG it's Princess Mononoke!
5:55
i replayed this so many times
i like the fact that princess mononoke was the animation for personality haha
That Princess Mononoke. :3
Appreciated this U.S. and World History programs! Still, enjoying the continuing Mythology shows! I downloaded a list of U.S. history titles by historian Eric Foner because of these U.S. History programs.
Thanks for being awesome! :D
I literally watched these videos in history like every day in class.
Ah! That's where "Alice in Chains" came from. Very clever~
why did it take this long
i really liked it, it's helping me with my research project
Don't forget about how to didn't want to include black women into their movement because they where racist.
thats really inspiring
I'm sad you didn't talk about betty friedan I'm doing her for a project 😢
watching in 2024 :)
Thanks this helped with my Homework
Thank you for getting me a 5 on my APUSH exam
The fight for the rights of women was and still is an ongoing global revolution, not just in the USA. In the World History Series, I thought that there would be some segment compilation of our own rights being fought for and realized as well as our contributions too in some nations as far. Women had helped shaped history too.
cool
There are some places in this world where women get almost no privileges at all, based on some religious and long-time traditional society thinking. There may be some who become self-entitles in which they take their privileges for granted but should that mean that every one of them have to be then denied their own chances of opportunities? I know that men have their own set of struggles, as do women. We all, as humans, should be at this point of our own modern development trying to see what people can be capable of regardless of gender. There have been many case studies now where this fact is tried and true.
That's the same way of saying that men need to remain in the home too to make intercourse with us! We can't make babies on our own; it takes both halves to make a whole, correct? It's not like the human race is in danger of extinction any time soon.
There are more ways than before nowadays that both genders can take care of their home lives and make a living in the outside world at the same time. This video shows many examples that women can find ways to help bring extra income to a household without shirking their responsibilities at home. When we don't have any more chores left to take care of for the day, what do you expect us to do with ourselves? Even men have house chores to do and can do them as well as keep a job, why can't women as well? Some households would need both adults/parents to work to support it together.
Do you want to be viewed that your only value comes down to just your reproduction organs, rather than the skill sets you've learnt and develop to contribute to your community? Have you tried to think about it yourself? Our bodies might not built for physical strength like men, but we do have our own kind of strength, like planning, multi-tasking, endurance.
I'm not a mother yet, I wouldn't know all the physical and emotional challenges that comes with carrying an inborn to raising one along a husband. I'm currently a single woman, more focused on supporting herself rather than to just leave it all up to a man to carry my own weight for me. Any man that doesn't want to accept the versatility that women have, can just as well as be restricting their own potentials too.
CrystaliumJMC That breaks the dynamic between the sexes, men are the provider/protector and women are the baby/home maker. The demographic winter in all industrialized nations is proof of this. Human civilization can only function under patriarchy and once this civilization goes belly up like past cultures that let women out of the home patriarchy will return. Also women suck at planing, multitasking and have less endurance than men. Quit believing pop culture BS.
And how well do you live up to your own ideals of patriarchy? How well have you done as a provider and a protector to any woman you know or for anyone else? None of us are perfect enough to say what one gender is only capable of or shouldn't be allow to do. We had grown up as a race to be more than what have our natural roles are, what got to be what we are today is actually trying to make ourselves something better than our past generations. We're not restricted to the same roles that exist within animal hierarchies anymore. We are never going to stop changing from what we were from before, even if this "pop culture BS" as you call it is what's influencing this.
You have some really sour opinions about what a woman has to be but that's within your own rights to think. Maybe women in your life were real cunts to you or fallible to what they claim about themselves. I imagine you would have the heart within you to still have some respect for them as you would like to be given yourself as a man. While you seem to think with us working towards being more than baby makers is wrong, at least many of us both men and women ARE giving it a chance or a second chance and ARE trying to make this new dynamic work out through all the challenges that may come. And IF it does end up biting us in the rear, we'll keep on trying to make it work; quitting and going right back to before doesn't guarantee improvement in relationships. We're going to both be together as long as humanity exist most likely unless our evolution takes an asexual turn in our reproduction cycle. We should all be capable of making the effort to improve who we are for each other.
Question: I was told (somewhere) that prior to Womens Suffereage they didn't pay taxes, thus government eventually supported the Sufferage movement under the notion that for the first time women would have to pay taxes as equal as men had. True?
Not directly. Women weren't except from any taxes, but since most of them didn't work they didn't have pay any income tax and their husbands salaries went to buying things and paying mortgages (and thus generating property taxes and VAT).
Thanks
Yes.
Laughed out loud so many times during this one, especially the birth control section!
0:05, that *_is_* a fantastic hat!
