progressive view of women's equality for the time, so it is not.

and her parents decided on a change for the whole family. Thomas left his job as a mariner

and the conference moved once again in one thousand, eight hundred and nine this time to philadelphia
Lucretia and James Mott joined them there and james was invited by lucretius father thomas, to become a partner in his merchant business lucretia married sainsmart on April tenth, one thousand eight hundred and eleven. She was eighteen at the time he was five years older, who seems to have been a
free good match. They had similar ideologies when it came to equality for women. They were both

not only an emotional blow it,

and her third child. Two year old, thomas black,

and lucretia was naturally heartbroken. Despite her grief,
so she returned to her teaching job, not long after the loss and that loss of her.

there were a number of issues that led to that split within the society of friends, which is another word for the quakers, those

would soon be a thing of the past. Yes, she really just wanted everybody to be able to come together and discuss these issues and not get wadded up on what they thought was proper or not

so there was ongoing violence over the next two days. The moths home was in danger as a target because of lucretius high profile and the abolition of movement. Their home was spared at the end, but the mob turned its iron toward

turn to their therein slavers and that aiding a person who had escaped enslavement was a crime. The fugitive slave act caused a lot.
Strife even within the abolitionist movement. For one thing, there was the debates between
following the law and following the principles of equality,
they even non abolitionist. Pennsylvanians were angry that this act took precedence over the states, personal liberty, laws and instances where people who had been enslaved were re taken by force, pacifist abolition,

Eighteen, sixty six, the american equal rights association formed with the goal of quote universal suffrage.
Lucretia Mott was its first president and
took that position somewhat tentatively, based largely on her loyalty to Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who had asked her to take that role and
ultimately found this job really trying and unfulfilling, because she spent most
the time trying to mediate the ongoing arguments among the members about where their focus should lie. They really were not getting into any actual activism and when-
stanton and susan b anthony sought backing from democrat entrepreneur, george francis train, that became
last straw for mot, because trains
