The original South Dakota Constitution required the state’s men to vote on striking the word “male” from the constitution. The state’s first legislature also offered voters a referendum that proposed to add language to the constitution to restrict American Indian voting. Both measures failed. Suffragists, such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, were incredulous! Discussion about the results of these two votes reveals much about race relations in South Dakota during this time.
