Article 1
The voice in article one is clearly against the women's rights movement saying the list of rights these women are coming up with at these conventions are a "parody of the Declaration of Independence" the writer also states that women should be doing their "duty" (home duties) rather than putting these meetings together.

Article 2
In article two the writer seems to be a bit more spiteful calling women's changing roles in society calling it a "awful change in society". The writer clearly doesn't deal with change very well.

New national culture with European influences.

Between 1820's-1850's there was a unexpected Greek revival. About mid-century, there was a strong interest in the revival of medieval Gothic forms. With strong emphasis on pointed arches, sloped roofs, and large stained glass windows. Early American paintings struggled to find a national identity during this time painting was thought to be a wast of time. After the war of 1812 painting turned from human portraits to historical events and landscapes. Americas painters had finally found there muse. The Hudson river school excelled in this type of romantic art. Before mid-century non-religious singing was looked down upon but rhythmic and nostalgic "darky" tunes became popularized by whites in mid-century. National literature after the war of 1812 and the arrival of romanticism brought about a new "romantic" stylized writings.

Seneca Falls Convention
The "Seneca Falls Convention" was the first women’s rights convention in the United States. It was organized by a handful of women who were active in the abolition and temperance movements. The meeting was put to together to bring attention to the unfair mistreatment of women (about 300 attended this included 40 men). At this convention the "Declaration of Sentiments" was read stating that "All men and women are created equal". This meeting is said to have been the launch of the modern women's rights movement

Women's rights movement
The women's right movement seeks to bring to light issues women are facing in society. During this time (roles in society, natural rights, voting rights) and even today in modern day America women are still dealing with issues of unfair treatment.

New Harmony
New Harmony was a complex of nearly 1,000 individuals in  Indiana,  In 1824, Robert Owen purchased land from another Utopian group called the Rappites. Robert Owen (Scottish textile manufacturer) believed that the best way to influence individual behavior was through the proper environment. Owen based non of his ideas on religion believing it to be "ridiculous".  The group of residents in New Harmony believed in communal living and progressive systems of education.  They also believed in equality of the sexes!!! Unfortunately   the community lasted less than three years, lacking strong central beliefs. :(
New Harmony contributed a new outlook on what the ideal America could be. They had views that others would have deemed crazy during this time. The principles surrounding this community was way ahead of its time.

Know Nothing Party
The Native American Party also known as the Know Nothing movement came about in response to a large number of migrants and promised to "purify" American politics by limiting or ending the influence of Irish Catholics and other immigrants, thus reflecting nativist and anti-Catholic sentiment.  This movement was lead by James W. Barker, The nativist movement in America did not begin with the Know-Nothings, and it certainly didn’t end with them. Prejudice against new immigrants continued throughout the 19th century. This movement brought to the forefront issues of the treatment of immigrants and how we deal with there treatment.
