What unfortunate event inspired Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton to plan a women's rights convention?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:  At the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840, women in attendance were segregated from men and were not allowed full access to the proceedings.  Mott and Cady Stanton left the convention because of that rule, and decided they would form a society and plan a convention to promote women's rights.

More details:

Attending the 1840 abolitionist convention in London was when Elizabeth Cady Stanton first met.  They both had been sent as official delegates to the convention, representing groups in America.  But when they arrived and were told that women would not have full participation and should rely on men to speak for them, they left.  As Cady Stanton remembered it, she and Mott "walked arm in arm, commenting on the incidents of the day," and "resolved to hold a convention as soon as we returned home, and form a society to advocate the rights of women" (quoted in New York Historical Society resource page, 2017).

The convention that was planned by Mott and Cady Stanton took place in 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York.  It  was the first women's rights convention to be held in the United States, and was organized by women. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was lead author of an important document issued by what we now call the "Seneca Falls Convention."  <em>The Declaration of Sentiments </em>was signed by 68 women and 32 men who had been among the participants in the convention. The document was modeled after Thomas Jefferson's <em>Declaration of Independence</em>.  In the way that Jefferson had listed grievances against the British monarchy, the <em>Declaration of Sentiments</em> listed grievances against how man had oppressed woman in regard to civil rights.

The African state that played a very active and profitable role in the transatlantic slave trade was the
grigory [225]

 This is taken from THE GLEANER, article AFRICA'S ROLE IN SLAVERY.

<span>
</span>

<span>In the Arab world, which was the first to import large numbers of slaves from Africa, the slave traffic was cosmopolitan. Slaves of all types were sold in open bazaars. The Arabs played an important role as middlemen in the trans-atlantic slave trade, and research data suggest that between the 7th and the 19th centuries, they transported more than 14 million black slaves across the Sahara and the Red Sea, as many or more than were shipped to the Americas, depending on the estimates for the transatlantic slave trade.</span>

The inescapable fact that stuck in my craw was: My people had sold me ... . My own people had exterminated whole nations and torn families apart for a profit before the strangers got their chance at a cut. It was a sobering thought. It impressed upon me the universal nature of greed." And we might add, the universal nature of slavery.

African kings were willing to provide a steady flow of captives, who they said were criminals or prisoners of war doomed for execution. Many were not, but this did not prevent traders posing as philanthropists who were rescuing the Africans from death and offering them a better and more productive life.

When France and Britain outlawed slavery in their territories in the early 19th Century, African chiefs who had grown rich and powerful off the slave trade sent protest delegations to Paris and London. Britain abolished the slave trade and slavery itself against fierce opposition from West African and Arab traders.The slave trade<span>. </span>The African state that played a very active and profitable role<span> in the translantic slave was? The Kingdom on Dahomey.
