Part A:
The correct answer is B. The NWSA focused on changing the federal government, while the AWSA worked to influence changes at the local and state level.
Part B is missing from your question. Please provide Part B so that I can answer it as well.
To answer this multiple-choice question accurately, we need to carefully read each statement and determine which one accurately describes the relationship between the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) and the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA).
Statement A suggests that the NWSA worked on passing the Nineteenth Amendment while the AWSA supported the campaign for the Fifteenth Amendment. However, this is not accurate because the NWSA focused on securing the right to vote for women on a national level, and the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment granting women's suffrage happened after the existence of both organizations.
Statement B suggests that the NWSA focused on changing the federal government, while the AWSA worked to influence changes at the local and state level. This statement accurately describes the relationship between the two organizations. The NWSA, founded by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, focused on advocating for a federal women's suffrage amendment. In contrast, the AWSA, founded by Lucy Stone, focused on achieving women's suffrage through state-by-state reforms and changes at the local level.
Statement C suggests that the women of the AWSA formed their group as a result of attending the convention held by the founders of the NWSA. This statement is not accurate because the AWSA was formed before the NWSA, and the founders of the AWSA, such as Lucy Stone, were not present at the first convention of the NWSA.
Statement D suggests that the work of the NWSA paved the way for the AWSA and other women suffrage groups to form many years later. This statement is not accurate because the AWSA was formed before the NWSA and played a significant role in the women's suffrage movement alongside the NWSA.
Therefore, the accurate statement describing the relationship between the NWSA and AWSA is:
B. The NWSA focused on changing the federal government, while the AWSA worked to influence changes at the local and state level.
