Frederick Douglass's speech from July 5, 1852 and the Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions from 1848 are very similar, despite their different audiences. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott promoted the first Women's Rights Convention. In their speeches, Stanton, Douglass and Mott discuss the hypocrisy of the U.S. Douglass, Stanton and Mott additionally discuss how their audiences were denied all the "natural" rights that white men were granted and their treatment. They also discuss how their audiences were denied the money they were supposed to earn. They mention the struggle and fight their audiences had with freedom.
