In 1848 an abolitionist
convention was held in Seneca Falls. This paper analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the Seneca
Falls
convention's final product: The Declaration of Sentiments - a
document which contains a comprehensive listing of gender based injustices all of which the women in the convention vowed to abolish. The author of the paper draws a comparison between the Declaration of Sentiments and the American Declaration of Independence and touches on how the document related to African-Americans.
