Initial Post
Read the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions (Links to an external site.)
Focus on the Declaration of Sentiments that was adopted July 20, 1848
Answer the following questions
1) If you were a free woman in the US in 1848 what were you not allowed to do?
2) What could the women attending the Seneca Falls Convention do about it?
3) Why do you think the Declaration of Independence was chosen as a model for the document?
