Declaration of Sentiments and Resolution

basically this talks about women rights and how these women stepped up and wanted to be equal. this meeting took place in Seneca Falls, 19-20 July 1848. Elizabeth Cady Stanton read off these new laws that they proposed. there was a lot debating going on and harsh criticism but after it was all was said and done it was passed by a fairly good amount. they were hoping that after this Declaration that it would be passed all over the country and not just fall apart.
after the meeting Lucretia Mott had some fine words for the audience.
