What happened to susan b Anthony when she tried to vote?
In Rochester NY, in November 1872, Susan B. Anthony and fifteen other women tried to vote in an election; they were all part of the "suffrage" movement (the word meant "permission," and women wanted to be permitted to vote, as men were allowed to do). But while all of the women were arrested, only Anthony was put on trial, since it was decided that she was the leader of the group. Her trial began in June 1873 and she tried to persuade Justice Ward Hunt, a vocal opponent of equal rights for women, that she deserved the same voting rights as a man. (She was accused of violating the 14th Amendment, which was generally interpreted back then to mean only men could vote; the issue was whether a woman was a legal "person" under the law: in most states, women were not yet considered legal persons, but rather, under the command of their father or their husband.) Anthony made an eloquent plea that women were citizens, the same as men, and thus should be allowed the same rights, but to no-one's surprise, the judge disagreed. He found her guilty and fined her $100; but she refused to pay it and said she would continue to fight for voting rights.
