the timeline below shows when and where different groups were guaranteed the right to vote. look at the timeline. then answer the question below.
based on the timeline, which of these statements is true?
more than 70 years after seneca falls, women gained the right to vote in all states.
in 1900, women were not allowed to vote anywhere in the united states.
women and african american men were both granted the right to vote in 1870.

Explanation:

1. For the first statement: Calculate the time between 1848 (Seneca Falls) and 1920 (19th Amendment). $1920 - 1848 = 72$, which is more than 70 years.
2. For the second statement: By 1900, Wyoming (1869), Colorado, Utah, Idaho (1893-1896) already granted women voting rights, so this is false.
3. For the third statement: 1870 granted voting rights only to African American men; women did not get nationwide voting rights until 1920, so this is false.

Answer:

More than 70 years after Seneca Falls, women gained the right to vote in all states.
