Sentiment

Americans value to have the right of equality and liberty, unfortunately not everyone is providential or important enough in society to exceed those values. The struggle for the right of freedom has always been a part of American history and still continues into the 21st century.

The place of women changed drastically during the nineteenth century. Many factors such as the market revolution and the second great awakening impacted the way they were in the family, at work, and society.

They were beginning to be noticed and they fought to be independent from men, which took a long time to achieve, but they did it. Women believed they were just as able as men to

America is a melting pot of people that are defined because of race, gender, and social position. The issue of gender has been a one-sided dispute that has had to overcome many challenges. Women have been seen as the inferior gender and have had to overcome many obstacles that men have put in the way to reach a position of equality.

Some of the authors who talk about women's rights and their suffering are Elizabeth Cady Stanton in her text Declaration of Sentiments, Abigail Adams in her text Letter to John Adams, and Sojourner Truth in her text Ain't I a Woman. All three texts address the issue of women not getting the rights they deserve. In the Declaration of Sentiments, Elizabeth Cady Stanton

In the reading of Seneca Falls Keynote Address, Elizabeth Stanton used religious references, repetition and anaphora to argue the equality of women’s rights. During the address, Stanton used religious reference to help support her argument. For example, in the second paragraph, Stanton concludes with the religious reference “the Pope of Rome, with his cardinals, too, all wear the loose flowing robes...” During the paragraph she addresses the attire of religious men, by saying they agree with the

Our inspiration for the 2017 History Day topic was when we heard about “taking a stand” being the theme, we immediately thought of women’s suffrage. It was (and still is) a major topic of conversation, and has impacted history in a way that has shaped women’s and girl’s lives for the better.

Although, in Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s “Declaration of Sentiments” the author discusses the inequality of men and women and how the American dream was not being fulfilled to women. The theme of the American dream is present in both “Declaration of Sentiments” and “The New Colossus” by discussing the liberties to which Americans should be entitled, presenting the idea that opportunity exist in America for
