LAD #11: The Seneca Falls Declaration

In the July of 1849, women across the country came to Seneca Falls, New York to discuss women's rights.  As a result The Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions was written.  In it these women call for the equal treatment of men and women alike.  The Declaration starts off almost identical to the Declaration of Independence but includes that "all men and women are created equal".  The declaration goes on to list all the sentiments or grievances women have, including how they were being treated unequally.  After listing these, the women provide "Resolutions", or ways to stop all of these inequalities to provide equal treatment.
