Abolition and Antebellum women's right movement similarities
The Seneca falls Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions speech,given in New York 1848 and the "what to the negro is the forth of July" speech by Fredrick Douglass,given on July 5, 1842 dealt with rights of the people considered as the minority in America (women and slaves).The both speeches helped to promote America to be the nation it is today.Being a woman in America was almost the same as being a slave.They were no permitted to own property, go to school or speak/stand up for what they believes in.This was what the slaves had to endure plus the hard work they had to do for their masters.
