50 The women s suffrage movement

51 The women s suffrage movement Suffrage The right to vote

52 The women s suffrage movement At the same time the abolitionist movement grew, another reform movement took root the movement to give equal rights to women.

53 The women s suffrage movement Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony became involved in the women s suffrage movement before the Civil War and continued with the movement after the war

54 The women s suffrage movement Politically, women were to be neither seen nor heard.

55 The women s suffrage movement Politically, women were to be neither seen nor heard. Several women organized a two day meeting in Seneca Falls, New York

56 The women s suffrage movement Politically, women were to be neither seen nor heard. Several women organized a two day meeting in Seneca Falls, New York

57 The women s suffrage movement Politically, women were to be neither seen nor heard. Several women organized a two day meeting in Seneca Falls, New York The meeting was called the Seneca Falls Convention It discussed women s rights and women s right to vote

58 The women s suffrage movement Seneca Falls Convention: Out of the meeting came the Declaration of Sentiments

59 The women s suffrage movement Seneca Falls Convention: Out of the meeting came the Declaration of Sentiments It was modeled after the Declaration of Independence and listed many grievances against men in general

60 The women s suffrage movement Sentiments He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise. He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice. He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men - both natives and foreigners. Having deprived her of this first right as a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides. He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead. He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns. He has made her morally, an irresponsible being, as she can commit many crimes with impunity, provided they be done in the presence of her husband. In the covenant of marriage, she is compelled to promise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents and purposes, her master - the law giving him power to deprive her of her liberty, and to administer chastisement.

61 The women s suffrage movement He has so framed the laws of divorce, as to what shall be the proper causes of divorce, in case of separation, to whom the guardianship of the children shall be given; as to be wholly regardless of the happiness of the women - the law, in all cases, going upon a false supposition of the supremacy of a man, and giving all power into his hands. After depriving her of all rights as a married woman, if single and the owner of property, he has taxed her to support a government which recognizes her only when her property can be made profitable to it. He has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is permitted to follow, she receives but a scanty remuneration. He closes against her all the avenues to wealth and distinction, which he considers most honorable to himself. As a teacher of theology, medicine, or law, she is not known. He has denied her the facilities for obtaining a thorough education - all colleges being closed against her.

62 The women s suffrage movement He allows her in church, as well as State, but a subordinate position, claiming Apostolic authority for her exclusion from the ministry, and, with some exceptions, from any public participation in the affairs of the Church. He has created a false public sentiment by giving to the world a different code of morals for men and women, by which moral delinquencies which exclude women from society, are not only tolerated but deemed of little account in man. He has usurped the prerogative of Jehovah himself, claiming it as his right to assign for her a sphere of action, when that belongs to her conscience and her God. He has endeavored, in every way that he could to destroy her confidence in her own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead a dependent and abject life.

65 Read the following quote by Abraham Lincoln. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved I do not expect the house to fall but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it or its (supporters) will push it forward till it shall become lawful in all the states, old as well as new, North as well as South. What point is Lincoln making about the future faced by the United States?

Sumner continued by mocking Senator Butler s stance as a man of chivalry, charging him with taking "a mistress... who, though ugly to others, is always lovely to him; though polluted in the sight of the world, is chaste in his sight I mean added Sumner, "the harlot, Slavery.
