This movement was started to spread the word about the "evils of slavery". Many Americans, both black and white were sharing the harsh practice of slavery in the U.S. People felt that if slavery ended, then this could fulfill the idea of "liberty and equality for all". Even though slavery ended in the early 1800's in the North, northerners still accepted the fact that slavery was still active in the South.
Many people spoke out, including, William Lloyd Garrison, Angelina and Sarah Grimke, Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and many others that risked their lives to help slaves escape. William Lloyd Garrison was the publisher of the newspaper, The Liberator and was a vocal abolitionist. Angelina and Sarah Grimke were daughters of a southern slave owner and they spoke all over the north on the "evils of slavery". Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth were huge leaders of the movement and were former slaves who escaped. Frederick Douglass started an antislavery newspaper called North Star in 1847. Sojourner Truth inspired Frederick Douglass to speak out. And Harriet Tubman, a former slave herself, was a conductor on the railroad that helped slaves escape, this railroad was called the Underground Railroad, this helped slaves escape to Canada. This movement paved way for the Women's Rights movement.]]> 2018-03-23 16:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/245543214 aashna_nanavaty_110 https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/245554016 The Women's Right Movement was started when Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton attended the World Antislavery Convention in London in 1840 and were not allowed to talk because they were women. Women didn't have many political or legal right's like men did, for example, they couldn't vote or hold office, they were left to be housewives and maids. And even then, everything the women earned, it was given to the husbands, there were also not laws to protect a wife from being abused by her husband. Lucretia and Elizabeth, being daughters of a judge, hosted a women's rights convention in New York. 
At this convention, the organizers created the Constitution of Sentiments, this convention demanded equal rights to women. Many abolitionists were also very active in this movement towards women's rights, Susan B. Anthony and Lucy Stone were active as well. Soon New York passed a law saying women could keep wages and property, Massachusetts and Indiana passed better divorce laws, but other reforms wouldn't be passed for many decades after the movement, such as women being able to vote, which was passed in 1920.]]> 2018-03-23 16:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/245554016 aashna_nanavaty_110 https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246300631 2018-03-26 21:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246300631 aashna_nanavaty_110 https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246300879 2018-03-26 21:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246300879 aashna_nanavaty_110 https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246301154 2018-03-26 21:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246301154 aashna_nanavaty_110 https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246301520 2018-03-26 21:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246301520 aashna_nanavaty_110 https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246301739 2018-03-26 22:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246301739 aashna_nanavaty_110 https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246301909 2018-03-26 22:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246301909 aashna_nanavaty_110 https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246302180 2018-03-26 22:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246302180 aashna_nanavaty_110 https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246302390 2018-03-26 22:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246302390 aashna_nanavaty_110 https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246303291 http://www.historynet.com/abolitionist-movement]]> 2018-03-26 22:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246303291 aashna_nanavaty_110 https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246303385 http://history.house.gov/Exhibitions-and-Publications/WIC/Historical-Essays/No-Lady/Womens-Rights/]]> 2018-03-26 22:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/aashna_nanavaty_110/eiownvbsd3dr/wish/246303385
