1 ene 1840 año - CCOT: (4.11): Women's rights and Seneca Falls

Descripción:

During the Second Great Awakening women's rights get traction through abolitionism.

During the Second Great Awakening women protested and made the declaration of rights and sentiments in which said all men an women are created equal, adding to the declaration of independence written by Thomas Jefferson.

Women were protesting due to the cult of domesticity in which women need to be in houses, take care of children or maybe they could work at farms. Not other than that. Northern women saw themselves as slaves since they thought that were the shackles in a society dominated by men.

At this time The two sisters named (Sarah and Angelina) by the last name of Grimke were famous women preachers who preached to men and they were in famous and most important lectures of Abolition, the fact is that they were born in slaveholder family in South Carolina, but they moved to the west and joined the abolition movement.

In 1840, more than 300 men and women feminists gathered around at Seneca Fall of Convention in New York for a conference on Women's rights. The main figures of this conference were Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, Lucretia Mott and Susan B.

In this attendant people agreed to the Declaration of Rights and Sentiments,it declared that “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Unfortunately, women did not gain many rights since Abolition and Temperance was an issue between the North and the South and the Americans, and they didn't have the right to vote up until the mid 1900s.
