Its title turns the famous cherry tree story against itself, arguing that George Washington helped win the vote for fewer than 2 million white males, a small slice of the nation he led. The message points to a well-established fact: the Constitution left voting rules to the states, which mostly limited the ballot to white men, often those who owned property. Listed alongside Susan B. Anthony and Abraham Lincoln, the poster places the suffrage fight across the nineteenth century, when Anthony campaigned for women's right to vote until the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920. The record notes that posters like this were featured in each issue of TABS.
