“We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and women are created equal. Now, in view of this entire disfranchisement of one half of the people of this country, their social and religious degradation, and most fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of the United States.”
This was most probably written in behalf of:
A. free blacks
B. enslaved blacks
C. women
D. Native Americans
E. Mexicans in the Southwest
Answer (2)
well since it says all men and women are created equal, considering the 14th amendment being passed and the " deprived of their most sacred rights... admission to all their rights... belong to them as citizens of the United States" I would definitely choose, [A ] as my answer.
The quote reflects the early women's rights movement, particularly the demands made during the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, emphasizing equality for all genders. Therefore, the correct answer is C: women.
