proof?
The proof for statement B can be found in the historical activities and focus of both the NWSA and AWSA.
The National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) was formed in 1869 and was led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. The NWSA primarily focused on advocating for a federal amendment to grant women the right to vote. They believed that the Fifteenth Amendment, which granted voting rights to African American men, should also include women.
On the other hand, the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) was created in 1869 as a result of disagreements within the suffrage movement. The AWSA was led by Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe and took a slightly different approach to achieve women's suffrage. They believed that it would be more achievable to work to secure voting rights for women at the local and state levels first before pushing for federal action.
Therefore, statement B accurately reflects the distinct approaches and focuses of the NWSA, which concentrated on federal change, and the AWSA, which worked towards influencing changes at the local and state levels.
There were two main groups with differing ideas about how to attain those goals. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony formed the National Women's Suffrage Association (NWSA) in 1869. They did not support the campaign for the Fifteenth Amendment, which would give African American men the right to vote, because it excluded women. Women in the NWSA wrote letters to the federal government. They asked for women to be included in the amendment, but they were denied. Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Blackwell started the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) that same year. They supported the Fifteenth Amendment. They used a different strategy. Instead of petitioning the federal government, they went to the states individually. They urged each state government to change their constitutions to give women the right to vote in local and state elections

The decades-long fight for suffrage, or the right to vote, in the United States began in the mid-19th century. At that time, women did not have many rights. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott believed that women and men should have equal rights. In 1848, they organized the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York. During the convention, a list of demands called the Declaration of Sentiments was created. It outlined the primary goals of the women's suffrage movement. The goals included more educational and employment opportunities for women, the right to control their money or property after marriage, and the right to vote.
