An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Nation’s birthday party, 1876. Huge party planned. No women speaking. No women mentioned. So women stormed the stage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">One of them was Sara Andrews Spencer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">#July4 thread.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The day before the event, Spencer hand-delivered a letter from ElizabethCadyStanton on behalf of women, asking for a moment to present this >> Declaration of Rights. The head of the Centennial Commission apologized that it was too late to change the program.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Spencer's reply was printed in newspapers nationwide: "We are aware that your programme is published, your speakers engaged, your entire arrangements decided upon, without consulting with the women of the United States; for that very reason we desire to enter our protest."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Sara Andrews Spencer also brought one of the first voting rights lawsuits. She was the chief lobbyist for the 1878 introduction of the women's suffrage amendment in Congress. Pictured above about 15 years later, after the deaths of her husband and namesake granddaughter. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">I am grateful to Prof. Tom Dublin for publishing my biographical essay about Spencer in the Online Biographical Dictionary of the Woman Suffrage Movement in the U.S. Thanks to @KatCKitt for helping me find and understand Spencer’s long connection to LDS suffragists.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;"><a href="https://documents.alexanderstreet.com/d/1011002066" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Here’s the link to the whole essay</a> - she’s worth it!</span></p>

An account of the resource
The 1876 Declaration of Rights drafted by Matilda Joslyn Gage for the Centennial direct action (<a href="https://dailysuffragist.omeka.net/items/show/434" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">see yesterday</a>) included nine articles of impeachment. <br /><br />They are still arresting today; I’ll summarize some and quote directly from others. 👉 <br /><br />BILLS OF ATTAINDER “have been passed by the introduction of the word “male†into all the State constitutions, denying to women the right of suffrage…†<br /><br />In 1876 the not-yet-states Wyoming & Utah allowed white women to vote. Some New Jersey women voted until 1807. <br /><br />2. THE WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS…“is held inoperative in every State of the Union, in case of a married woman against her husband--†<br /><br />In other words, married women are legal prisoners. Worse than prisoners. <br /><br />3. The RIGHT OF A TRIAL BY A JURY of one’s peers. <br /><br />The Declaration describes the unfairness of male juries to women accused of crimes. It does not discuss the harm to society of the absence of women on juries generally.<br /><br />4. TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. Nuff said. <br /><br />5. UNEQUAL CODES FOR MEN AND WOMEN. “The fact of sex, not the quantity or quality of work, in most cases, decides the pay and position…†(Followed by discussion of prostitution, immigration, and double standards.) <br /><br />6. SPECIAL LEGISLATION FOR WOMAN. “In some States, a married woman may hold property and transact business in her own name; in others, her earnings belong to her husband. In some States, a woman may testify against her husband, sue or be sued in the courts; <br /><br />"in others, she has no redress in case of damage to person, property, or character. In case of divorce on account of adultery in the husband, the innocent wife is held to possess no right to children or property, unless by special decree of the court. <br /><br />"But in no State of the Union has the wife the right to her own person, or to any part of the joint earnings of the co-partnership during the life of her husband. In some States women may enter the law schools and practice in the courts; in others they are forbidden. . . . <br /><br />"Laws passed after years of untiring effort, guaranteeing married women certain rights of property, and mothers the custody of their children, have been repealed in States where we supposed all was safe.†<br /><br />7. REPRESENTATION OF WOMAN. None. <br /><br />8. UNIVERSAL MANHOOD SUFFRAGE. “The aristocracies of the old world are based upon birth, wealth, refinement, education, nobility, brave deeds of chivalry; in this nation, on sex alone…†<br /><br />9. THE JUDICIARY ABOVE THE NATION “has proved itself but the echo of the party in power…. When the slave power was dominant, the Supreme Court decided that a black man was not a citizen, because he had not the right to vote; and when the constitution was so amended as <br /><br />"to make all persons citizens, the same high tribunal decided that a woman, though a citizen, had not the right to vote. Such vacillating interpretations of constitutional law unsettle our faith in judicial authority, and undermine the liberties of the whole people.†#Suffrage100

Description
An account of the resource
One of the myths of the suffrage story is that nothing radical or confrontational happened before 1913. Not so. <br /><br />On July 4, 1876, at the national Centennial celebration in Philadelphia, suffragists stormed the stage. <br /><br />Thread. <br /><br />They had asked for a place on the official program for the dispossessed half of the citizenry. The chairman refused: the event program was set, he said, and besides, “We propose to celebrate what we have done in the past hundred years, not what we have failed to do.†<br /><br />They asked for seats for the National Woman’s Suffrage Assoc. and were refused because “only government officials were invited.†<br /><br />DC suffragist Sara Spencer replied: “We are aware that your programme is published, your speakers engaged, your entire arrangements decided upon, without consulting with the women of the United States; for that very reason we desire to enter our protest.†<br /><br />Susan B Anthony wrangled press credentials via her brother’s newspaper. Matilda Joslyn Gage, Lillie Devereaux Blake, Phoebe Couzins & Sara Spencer also found tickets. <br /><br />They had been planning for the Centennial for months, from an office on Chestnut Street that Anthony had leased -- as an unmarried woman she was the only one in the group who could sign the contract. <br /><br />From that office Matilda Joslyn Gage drafted a Declaration of Rights. <br /><br />Not a Declaration of Sentiments, as the 1848 Seneca Falls manifesto was called, but Rights. Plus Articles of Impeachment of the all-male government. <br /><br />Sara Spencer calligraphed a grand version for presentation to the government, signed by the National's leadership.<br /><br />They printed thousands of copies of the text for distribution. 👇(from <a href="https://twitter.com/smithsoniannpg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@smithsoniannpg</a> via Ann Lewis Collection) <br /><br />On July 4, 1876, the official program commenced in Philadelphia. It was unbearably hot. <br /><br />The women hadn’t identified the precise cue for their action, but as Richard Henry Lee of Virginia read the 1776 Declaration of Independence, Susan B Anthony knew the moment had arrived. <br /><br />Lee, a Confederate veteran, was a direct descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence. A traitor to his country was welcome and honored at the Centennial, but not women who had campaigned ceaselessly for the Union. <br /><br />“Now is our time,†Anthony announced. <br /><br />They walked boldly down the center aisle, ascended the stage, and handed a 3-foot scroll wrapped in ribbons to Vice President Thomas Ferry. <br /><br />“I present to you a Declaration of Rights from the women citizens of the United States," said Anthony. He bowed and accepted the scroll. <br /><br />The women turned, descended the rostrum, and as they made their way through the crowd they handed out printed copies of the Declaration of Rights. Men stood on their chairs to grasp for them. <br /><br />The emcee cried “Order! Order!†and begged the conductor to strike up the band. <br /><br />A crowd gathered outside the main event as Susan B stood in the shadow of a statue of George Washington and read the entire document aloud. Then the suffragists made their way to a nearby church, where the pews were packed and the speeches continued for five hours. <br /><br />The day before, the women had asked one last time for a place on the program. In refusing again, the chairman of the Centennial presciently noted that if the women spoke, “It would be the event of the day--the topic of discussion to the exclusion of all else.†<br /><br />The New York Tribune called their stunt "A very discourteous interruption; it prefigures new forms of violence and disregard of order which may accompany the participation of women in active partisan politics.†🔥🔥🔥 <br /><br />The St. Louis Dispatch of July 13, 1876 was more sympathetic: “If perseverance is to be awarded, the agitators of the woman question will yet carry off the prize they seek. Death alone can silence such women as Susan B. Anthony and Cady Stanton... <br /><br />"...their teachings will live after them and unite others of their sex into strong bands of sisterhood in a common cause. <br /><br />"It is safe to say, if events march on in the same direction they have since the calling of the first National Woman’s Convention, another centennial will see woman in the halls of legislation throughout the land, and so far as we are concerned we have no objection, so long as she behaves herself.â€

By the 1876 US centennial, women had been demanding the vote for nearly 30 years. The light bulb was not yet invented. <br />As the National and the American Woman Suffrage Assoc's developed their separate identities in the 1870s, more African-American women joined the American. <br /><br />But Mary Ann Shadd Cary aligned herself with the National b/c they were more radical and less devoted to the Republican party. (Reconstruction was about to be undone by Republican President Rutherford B Hayes, elected in 1876.) Shadd Cary endorsed the National’s New Departure, a more daring strategy than what the American was proposing. And despite Stanton & Anthony’s racism, Shadd Cary kept pushing them to do better. She gathered the names of 94 African-American women from Washington D.C. for the National's new centennial Declaration of Rights. <br /><br />At the centennial celebration in Philadelphia, the National’s leaders - Stanton, Anthony, Gage et al - executed an amazing bit of political theatre. They took over the stage to present a new Declaration with new signatories. The Black women’s names were not included. #Suffrage100
