Descriptive Paragraph:Seneca Falls Convention

The Seneca Fall Convention took place in Seneca Falls, New York in July 1848. Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and three other women organized the convention. They wrote a document that lists their beliefs about the women's rights. The document was called the "Declaration of Sentiments". This was the first time in the United States that women had talked in publicly demanded their right to vote. It was really crowded. There were both men and women. There were tons of people. It was very cool outside. Women were wearing dresses. Not the ones that they wear at home but brand new ones. It was all colorful. When Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott were talking most of the men were frowning. When the men didn't want to hear what the women were going to say, they started arguing with them. So all the women and men started arguing and the convention became very loud and became a wreck. But in the end 68 women and 32 men signed the Declaration and the women's suffrage had begun. When the Nineteenth Amendment was passed only one woman who had signed the Declaration of Sentiments had lived. Her name was Charlotte Woodward. She had signed the Declaration when she was 19 years old and when the amendment was passed she was in her 90s.
