The Apotheosis of Suffrage. Political Mud-Slinging of Now as Then. Women's Suffrage Centennial
Politics are not for the faint of Heart. Scrolling the Comments on any Social Media Post on any Platform, nobody needs to be told about the vile viciousness we see every day.
We can read them for ourselves.
And it has likely always been this way.
It's not surprising that Unifying behind a set of central ideas & the methodology of how to go about them is difficult even today.
When we look at Religious Philosophies of now & then, the dozens of Christian Denominations still think their own teaching is correct as mentioned on Wednesday in the Philosophy-on-the-Unification-of-Politics-Theologies-Election-2020,
Christians & Muslims & Jewish believers have HUGE differences in Theology.
And Lord knows we Christians can't even agree with ourselves.
Then add Politics into the mix.
Even today some of the worst & most obnoxious Advertising when we turn on the TV are the Paid Political Ads.
Not much has changed.
Today's image, published in the Washington Post in 1896 is by cartoonist George Yost Coffin. He created an illustration entitled “The Apotheosis of Suffrage.” modeled after the "Apotheosis of Washington.
It was the "Political Mud-Slinging" of the day.
So basically all Parties within the Women's Rights Movement were in agreement with most of what was contained in the Declaration of Sentiments except this one CRITICAL ELEMENT - Voting Rights For WOMEN, or Suffrage.
