Why Are 

National Parks 

Important?

National Parks are all different. In some parks, Rangers take care of 

a beautiful place in nature. In other parks, Rangers take care of old 

buildings or places where a very special moment in history happened. 

People can go to these parks and enjoy the beautiful places in nature, or 

learn about the important people and events in American history. When 

we learn the stories of these important places, we want to help protect 

them so more people can learn about them too.

This symbol is located at every National 

Park. It represents the mission of the 

National Park Service and the things 

rangers protect. 

• Represents animals 

• Represents history 

• Represents plants 

• Represents land formations 

• Represents bodies of water

Match the symbols on the left 

with what rangers take care 

of in parks.

On July 19, 1848, more than 300 women and men met at the Wesleyan 

Chapel in Seneca Falls to discuss “the social, civil, and religious condition 

and rights of women.” Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Mary 

Ann M’Clintock, Jane Hunt, and Martha Coffin Wright, organized this 

convention. Upstate New York was a center of reform at that time, 

leading the way for antislavery movements. Seneca Falls certainly was 

the place to hold a convention for women’s rights. 

The five women were happily surprised when they saw how many 

people had gathered. Elizabeth was nervous. She was 32 years old and 

had spoken publicly only once before. The Declaration of Sentiments 

expressed the rights women did not have such as the right to own 

property, rights in marriage and divorce, and the right to vote. It was 

signed by 100 members of the audience, 68 women and 32 men. 

The second day of the convention was filled with discussion. They 

agreed on twelve resolutions, the only resolution that received 

resistance was the one giving women the right to vote. Elizabeth argued 

that the vote was important for women if they were to take their place 

in the world. 

Frederick Douglass, a freedom seeker and 

abolitionist living in Rochester, New York, was 

present on the second day of the convention. 

Douglass spoke at the convention and produced 

copies of the Declaration of Sentiments.

Today, both men and women work outside of the 

household. They both do household chores and they 

both take care of their children. The postcard on the 

right printed in 1909 pokes fun at men for allowing 

their wives to vote. Sadly, it made women seem 

“bad” for wanting to vote as if by voting they were 

neglecting their families. 

Do you think a woman would feel bullied by this 

card? Yes No 

Why? 

Do you think a man would feel bullied by this card? Yes No 

Why? 

If you were a child in 1909, how would you feel about your mother voting 

after you saw the postcard?

Bullying is unwanted and aggressive behavior.

Bullying feels terrible to the person being bullied.

Changing Fashion

Bloomers are loose fitting trousers with a half skirt. They got their name 

when Amelia Bloomer published a picture of the outfit in 1852 in her 

newspaper. The picture received a lot of attention and the outfit was 

called “Bloomers”. 

Color the bloomers in your favorite colors. Help the women

We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and 

women are created equal; that they are endowed by 

their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among 

these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; 

that to secure these rights governments are instituted, 

deriving their just powers from the consent of the 

governed. 

The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries 

and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, 

having in direct object the establishment of an absolute 

tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted 

to a candid world.

1 He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.

2 He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns.

3 After depriving her of all rights as a married woman, if single and the owner of 

property, he has taxed her to support a government which recognizes her only when 

her property can be made profitable to it.

4 He has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is 

permitted to follow, she receives but a scanty remuneration.

5 He has denied her the facilities for obtaining a thorough education—all colleges 

being closed against her.

We just looked at the Declaration of Sentiments. It 

was written in the English used in 1848. Today, 

some may find the language difficult to understand.

While trying to gain equal rights 

for women, suffragists often made 

signs and banners with sayings. 

They walked down streets or stood 

in front of buildings so everyone 

who saw them would know what 

they were working for. 

Do you have something you care 

enough about to stand in public 

with a banner? 

What would it look like? 

Draw your banner or sign on 

the right. 

Create a banner/sign 

Suffrage Banner

The Suffrage Banner was created by the National 

Women’s Party to celebrate the ratification of the 

Nineteenth Amendment in the U.S. Constitution. The 

Nineteenth Amendment gave American women the 

right to vote in 1920. 

The three colors used in the banner are purple for 

justice, white for purity of intent, and gold for courage.

The 36 stars represent the states that ratified 

the amendment.
