Alcohol consumption was seen as a threat to family life. – s “Temperance societies” emerged all over USA. –1851 Maine became first state to outlaw sale of liquor.

National Trades Union (1834) Commonwealth vs. Hunt (1842) –“Strikes are lawful and not criminal conspiracies…”

Women’s Movement Inequalities… –“Cult of Domesticity” –Limited Rights Women can’t vote, own property. Seneca Falls, 1848 –Meeting for Women’s Rights Movement –Elizabeth Cady Stanton writes “Declaration of Sentiments”

The Declaration of Sentiments… “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. He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise. He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice. He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men--both natives and foreigners. Having deprived her of this first right of a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides. He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead…”
