Detailed explanation-1: -As previously explained, Garrisonian abolitionists held beliefs (such as anti clericalism and the moral equality of human beings) that were adopted by the women’s rights movement. Abolitionist men supported women and gave them a platform to engage publicly for the cause of abolition and women’s rights.

Detailed explanation-2: -Books About Abolitionists and Suffragists In the lead up to the drafting and ratification of the amendment, women had argued with abolitionists that both groups push for having the amendment include women, so that all freed slaves and all women would receive voting rights at the same time.

Detailed explanation-3: -The women’s rights movement was the offspring of abolition. Many people actively supported both reforms. Several participants in the 1848 First Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls had already labored in the anti-slavery movement.

Detailed explanation-4: -But women’s involvement in the abolitionist movement changed drastically during the 1820s and 1830s, reorienting both antislavery activism and reform culture.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Abolition and the Women’s Rights movements both consisted of a common goal: to grant the members of their particular groups a free and ultimately better life.
