1. The historical context of Maria W. Stewart's 1832 lecture was on the occasion of the meeting of the newly formed England Anti-Slavery Society. The lecture took place in Franklin Hall, Boston.

• With this lecture, Maria W. Stewart made history as the first American woman to speak in public on the contemporary sociopolitical issues hindering African American men and women.

2. There are similar ideas and rhetorical strategies that Jefferson's Declaration and Stewart's lecture employ. She uses rhetorical strategies (logos, ethos, pathos, and kairos) to appeal to the powers that be, to ensure the total liberation of African Americans (men and women).

• She also suggested that prejudice, ignorance, and poverty were militating against the emancipation of people of color in America. She called on whites to eschew prejudice while inviting blacks to embrace knowledge and move forward with determination.

3. Stewart's purpose for the lecture was to ensure that obstacles that perpetuated the mentality of slavery were eradicated from both divides.

Thus, Maria W. Stewart's 1932 lecture urged people of color to acquire "moral worth" and "intellectual improvements" to help dismantle existing prejudices against black emancipation.
