About
What is Forsyth County Republican Women?
The FCRW is a private organization that promotes Republican ideals that positively impact our state and nation. Historically, the Republican Party championed freedom from slavery in the United States through the efforts of then-President Abraham Lincoln and the passage of the 13th Amendment, and women’s rights through the efforts of suffragists, Lucy Stone and Mary Livermore. At the request of Susan B. Anthony, Sen. A.A. Sargent, a Republican from California, introduced the 19th Amendment in 1878. Sargent’s amendment (also known as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment) was defeated four times by a Democrat-controlled Senate. Republicans continue to champion freedom, prosperity and opportunity for American citizens. More questions?
