Slaves freed themselves, Lincoln only "abolished" slavery to retain the union.
Suffragette movements gave women the right to vote.
Stonewall riots led to the abolition of anti-gay laws, I wouldn't be here if not for the riots.
Selma to Montgomery led to important gains in the civil rights movement and led to the establishment of the civil rights act, same with the Panthers going to the capitol.

You are seriously misinformed.

aside form wikipedia do you have any proof that those actions SPECIFICALLY contributed to those changes? because i was actually under the impression most women didnt want the right to vote as it would come with mandatory pail duty which alot of women didnt wanna participate in.

Yes, you can literally read any of those sources. Or do your research on each event if you would like. Some of them aren't Wikipedia sources and all of these events are known as pivotal events in women's history, black history and LGBTQ history (in the US at least). Anyone with even an intro level of knowledge to US protest history should know these things.

Also of course women wanted to vote. If I lived back then I would be fighting to vote too. We're people just like you who want to live our lives unchained. There are many examples of revolutionary and emancipated women throughout history. To suggest otherwise is just... deeply foolish.

only one of those sources appears to be from a reputable source, youll understand if i dont take a .com link with quite so much veracity. But thats fine, i take back everything ive said folks, keep protesting clearly its working! love all the change!

edit: i was wrong, thats an op ed on nat geo, so its 0 reputable sources

also can you show me what part of my sentences i specifically said women werent empancipated or revolutionary? i dont recall saying that but wtf do i know right. I guess my concern is that just because someone tells me thats true, doesnt, you know, make it true, did you know santa clause isnt real? shit haunts me to this day.

I'm baffled by your reasoning. A source can be valid regardless of web address. If you want to find these events on a .gov or .org or .balls or .whatever website, they are very easy to find. You don't seem to want to argue in good faith though so... this definitely isn't worth it.

My point is that these very well known protests are all examples of protest that have achieved real social gains for real people, again you seem to not know about them which is mildly concerning and I'm not a teacher so I'd rather not waste my time educating someone who doesn't want to learn.

yo uare absolutely right, i dont want to argue on faith, because that makes your belief no different than religion, and in that regard, thats great for you, but just because you believe it doesnt make it true.

and actually, im sure someone as intelligent as you will realize, that although a source MAY be relevant regardless of the web address, most of the time when presenting a thesis, you must use sources that are legitimate, like a scientific journal, or in this case a journal from someone who's worked in the industry for years.

But ill tell you what, ill argue with you soley based on your faith, if you take it solely based on faith that im a king, i sure as shit can't prove it, but hey, its my faith

Clearly I've made a mistake by ever speaking up in the first place. I apologize. I appear to have gravely miscalculated the circumstances.
