Abolitionist and Women's Movements Share many of the Same Beliefs

     The Seneca falls speech and Fredrick Douglas speeches shared many of the same views and points. Although Fredrick Douglas fought for the abolishment of slavery, and the Seneca falls speech fought for women's rights they both shared many of the same valid points. Both speeches fought for equal rights. Both speeches highlighted the fact that everyone should be equal no matter what gender or race. Both speeches referred back to the Declaration Of Independence; the DOI stated that "all men are created equal". With that being said both speeches highlighted the fact that if our DOI sates that everyone should be equal then why aren't they. Although the two speeches were wrote for different reasons they both shared many of the same beliefs.
