Susan B. Anthony

Susan B. Anthony

Susan B. Anthony campaigned for Republican candidates in many campaigns, beginning in 1860.  That year, the Wide Awakes, a Republican marching club, serenaded Susan B. Anthony and her suffragist colleague Elizabeth Cady Stanton to thank them for their support.

Anthony also worked closely with fellow Republican Frederick Douglass.  In 1872, she was arrested for casting a ballot in the presidential election, in which she voted for the Republican ticket.
