Two important events in 1848 led to major changes in the history of the U.S. The first was the discovery of gold on 24 January by James Marshall in a lumber mill race which was being built for John Sutter; the reaction to this event was quick and large. The second event occurred in Seneca Falls, NY, on 20 July 1848 at the building you see to the right.

While there were earlier meetings on 9 and 16 July, about 300 women and men gathered in the Wesleyan Chapel on 19 and 20 July to listen to what the planners called a revised "Declaration of Sentiments," patterned after the Declaration of Independence.

One of the signers on 20 July was Frederick Douglass. He broke with the Stanton twenty years later after a disagreement over voting rights.
The 19th Admendment (aka the Susan B. Anthony Admendment") finally gave women the right to vote in 1920.
