    Since the early 1770's there has been a major increase of democracy in the United States. From 1865 to 1919 women and African Americans were fighting for their right to vote. The 13th and 14th amendments are stating the right to vote, the abolishment of slavery, and that if you were born or naturalized in the United States you automatically get the same rights as others.
