The First Reason? Most People in 1830 lived in a rural setting,not Cities.Families struggled to eke out an existence,
often working Sun-up to Sun Down on a plot of land to feed there families,and maybe have something left over to Trade or even Sell. Women were considered to do their part just as well.Not to mention Feeding,cooking and Washing.Not to much time to entertain the Local Chapter of Suffragists
after Dark,in the candlelight.
The Second reason? as it pertains to the time frame given,it pretty much had to do with the societal norms of the Era,es-
pecially the time you gave.The Fundalmentist movement had started,and the Womans Place was in the Home,Period.
Lastly,Until Harriet Tubman(Underground Railroad fame) and
her Best Friend Susan B.Anthony really didnt get started with the Suffrage movement until after the Civil War.The two met
while doing charity work,became lifelong friends.Susan B.Anthony credited Tubman for giving her the courage to pur-
suing her dream of Womens suffrage.
I am sure there are others with great answers..this is just some of my knowledge without looking at Wikipedia.

There was actually. While it was nothing like would be found in the early 20th century, there were still women working for suffrage. In fact, women had a major role in getting blacks the right to vote. Unfortunately, the progressive train halted soon after the passage of the 15, 16, 17 th amendment, and the women would have to wait another 60 years to vote.

That is just the way society was at that time. It was a rough time for that era. The Westward movement. They depended on men to provide their protection. Yes, the woman was seen but not heard was quite true to the Eastern Seaboard, but an evolution was beginning out on the open range. There wasn't any kind of judiciary activity in the west, (lawless). Not much mattered but survival. But the woman proved herself as an equal out on the open plains. I really think it was the Western pioneer woman that eventually requested an equal voting right, before the Eastern ladies did, because they felt they earned it.

Women back then were terribly brainwashed into believing that they should be seen and not heard, stay at home, have babies, do all the "sweat" jobs and then be ready like a foxy vixen for being a proper bedmate, subservient and still sexy.
It's taken us this long to gather any momentum and at last at least be EQUALS with the distaff side. Those poor buggers!

It was something new and different. They had never known of it. Their mothers and grandmothers never did it so no one taught them to even think of it. almost like traveling around the world when you think you are taught it is flat. crazy to imagine.
