Education

Education Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, both of whom were deeply influenced by the antislavery movement, organized the Seneca Falls conference in July 1848 to bring men and women together to consider the subordinate role of women in the United States. The two organizers, together with others, drew up this declaration, using the Declaration of Independence as a model. About three-hundred people attended the conference and it was chaired by Lucretia Mott’s husband, James. Eleven resolutions were passed unanimously, and the twelfth was narrowly passed after a stirring speech from the floor by Frederick Douglass. The language of Jeffersonian liberalism would come to be used by women and African-Americans to extend the meaning of equality before the law for the next one-hundred and fifty years, right up to our time.
