Question

Which document of the mid-1800s stated that women and men are equal? A. Emancipation Proclamation B. Compromise of 1850 C. Homestead Act D. Seneca Falls Declaration

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Seneca Falls Declaration. This is because the Seneca Falls Declaration was a the first women's rights conventions to ever exist in the United States. It was organized by mostly Quaker women, but some women who were not Quaker participated in founding it as well. The declaration was designed so that women could become more involved in society, as well as politics and economics and would be better proportioned in these sectors. This also paved the way for the suffragist movement, as this was a very heated debate at the time. The convention continued until the Civil War.
