Explain this in three bullet points or less: 1. In the mid 1800's, the abolitionists movement was by far one of the biggest reform movements in the nation. The thought of slavery went against the ideas of American freedom, and many Americans saw this and wanted change. Also, people in the North did not need slavery for their economy, it was mainly the South that was still clinging on to it. 

2. The Seneca Falls Convention was the first public gathering to explicitly call for women's suffrage. The demand for the right to vote was a significant departure from previous advocacy for women's rights, marking a turning point in the movement. The convention also generated media attention and public discussion about women's rights issues. While it faced opposition and ridicule, it also raised awareness and made the topic more mainstream. It took so long for Women's rights to be accepted because up until this point in history, men were the only ones in political and financial control. Also, people did not want to change. 

3. People like John Brown and William Lloyd Garrison were prominent abolitionists figures. Garrison called for a more peaceful approach in destructing slavery, while Brown thought the only way to end slavery was through violent force. One argument against slavery was that it contradicted the ideas of the US Constitution and individual freedom.
