LAD #11 - Seneca Falls Declaration

The Seneca Falls Declaration was risen up from the people that wanted to make a change. They stood out from the rest because they could not take what they were living with and needed to make the the best of their occupation. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frances Wright, Ernestine Rose and many others participated in sharing their piece of mind to believe that they are equal. "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal". The women state how poorly that they have been mistreated and abused by men including how men take women as property and can take their money and how the man has made her morally irresponsible. Also, the women state their thoughts on solutions that the creator intended for all his people to be equal and that it is the women's responsibilities to speak and encourage teaching. Women played a key role in society and the Seneca Falls Declaration was a step forward in gaining their freedom.
