This affected our country immensely and we still see the impact whenever you see ladders and fire safety equipment in buildings. ]]> 2017-10-13 16:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196880454 frankao https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196883191 Carry Nation was not afraid to stand up for what she believed in, and she had clever, effective ways of doing so. She would use hatchets and destroy everything in saloons to get her point across about the Temperance Movement. Carry was a very powerful woman, and she did things that not a lot of people were brave enough to do. ]]> 2017-10-13 16:18:46 UTC https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196883191 frankao https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196884289 Men would come home drunk and abuse their families and wives.

They fought in every major battle. They would not allow women to fight knowing they were women because women were not as capable in the eyes of men. ]]> 2017-10-13 16:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196885835 frankao https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196887254 Women were forced to sit alone in a separate chamber from the men, which led them to start talking about women's rights. The Seneca Falls Convention is what ultimately led to the Declaration of Sentiments being written. ]]> 2017-10-13 16:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196887254 frankao https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196888647 Women continued to take care of the needs of the house, garden, and family. The west often forced women to do jobs that were traditionally considered "male jobs". Women worked with their fathers, brothers, and husbands in fields and barns, and took the men's place if they died or went away. ]]> 2017-10-13 16:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196888647 frankao https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196890191 Life on the frontier was lonely. Water was rare, but clothes and diapers still had to be washed, gardens watered, meals prepared, and houses/children kept clean. The survival of many families depended on the income women could bring in through the production of clothing, soap, candles, and food. Women were finally starting to be recognized as able to work. People were starting to realize that women are as capable as men. ]]> 2017-10-13 16:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196890191 frankao https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196894155 I learned that Sojourner was an abolitionist, and an escaped slave. My favorite thing we did learning about Sojourner was the video of the "Ain't I a Woman" speech. ]]> 2017-10-13 16:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196894155 frankao https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196898144 Frances Willard, the President of the WCTU, urged members to fight against alcohol and moral reform, and to fight for women's suffrage. The WCTU was originally organized by Protestant women, but there were over 200,000 members by the end of the 1800's. This was a major force behind the 18th amendment (banned alcohol). The WCTU fought for many things that we might not have today without it. We have laws in place to help keep us safe when we've been drinking. Women have the option, the privilege and the freedom to vote. ]]> 2017-10-13 16:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196898144 frankao https://padlet.com/frankao/6sexz1scxml9/wish/196903428 I learned that Harriet was a writer and an abolitionist.
