Abolitionist and Women's Movements

In the Frederick Douglass and the Seneca Falls speech, there was both similarities and differences. Some of the similarities were that they both wrote about equality and rights in the United States. Another similarity is that they felt the United States was a hypocrisy because of the rights that were limited on people. Both speeches used references of the Declaration of Independence. Some of the differences was that in the Frederick Douglass speech he wrote about how slaves felt on the Fourth of July. He wrote about how it is unfair for African Americans were basically excluded from being able to celebrate a holiday that is celebrated to honor people's freedom that slaves and himself cannot celebrate because of the rights they should have, but don't. He also wrote about how it isn't Christian to have slaves and the society will never be true Christian until slaves are abolished. In the Seneca Falls Speech, women wrote about the rights they do not, but should have. They believe that it is unfair to women that men have numerous amount of rights they do not. They used the reference of the Declaration of Independence where it explains how everyone is created equal to all the same rights, but women weren't allowed to do things that men were able to do, such as having a voice in laws and losing all their rights in property to their husband once they are married. Although Frederick Douglass believed the United States was a hypocrisy as did the Seneca Falls speech, he was by far more hopeful that things would change.

Analysis: It makes me very upset. Many environmental causes have a severe affect in developing countries. In Chile many people are left without homes and some even missing. It is upsetting that it will take a long period of time to recover from the disaster.
