Abolitionism and Women's rights

Objective: Explain abolitionism and women's rights, distinguish their meanings, and apply them to a described case.

Abolitionism: Abolitionists sought to end slavery through varied forms of resistance and political action. Women's rights: Activists sought expanded civil and political rights for women. Interpret these ideas within the institutions, places, and period being studied. Distinguish the definition from evidence that a particular event occurred. A teaching scenario illustrates an idea; it is not an authenticated historical document or proof of a real event. Application: A campaign argues against human ownership. This most directly illustrates abolitionism. A convention challenges exclusions from public participation. This most directly illustrates women's rights.
