SusanBAnthony Research

The resolution calling for woman suffrage had passed, after much debate, at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, convened by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. In The Declaration of Sentiments, a document based upon the Declaration of Independence, the numerous demands of these early activists were thrown out and sidecasted. The 1848 convention had challenged America to social revolution that would touch every piece of life. Early women's rights leaders believed suffrage to be the most effective means to change an unjust system.

    Your post was very informal. I knew very little about the 1848 convention. I agree that suffrage was the most effective way to change the system because with vote comes voice.

    I remember talking about this in Cox's class. I think you did a good job summing everything up.
