As the women's suffrage movement grew in the early 20th century, varying motives in different regions of the country fueled an organized anti-suffrage movement. Many groups grew out of fears about women’s collective political power as a voting bloc. In southern states, anti-suffragists resisted enfranchising women because they did not want Black women to vote. Reasons for opposition, including "Because White Supremacy must be maintained," are outlined in this card, sent from members of the Georgia Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage to the 64th Congress.
