The struggle for voting rights in the United States has seen significant violence and loss of life, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement. While it's difficult to quantify the exact number of deaths directly linked to voting rights struggles, prominent incidents such as the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965 led to the deaths of activists like Jimmie Lee Jackson and others. Additionally, historical events, including the violence against African Americans during Reconstruction and Jim Crow laws, contributed to a broader context of loss and sacrifice in the fight for voting rights. Overall, the fight for suffrage has involved many sacrifices, but specific death tolls are not easily defined.
