What Slaves and Women Had in Common in the 1840's-1850's

In the 1800's most people would thinking that only slaves are fighting for freedom, but woman were fighting too.  in 1852 Fredrick Douglas wrote a speech on what to the slaves was the Fourth of July.  He says its an injustice and a lie to all the slaves.  The first woman's rights convention was created in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848 by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. These equal rights movements are still going to this present day.  Both slaves and women had to fight for equality to live a normal life.  Both Slaves and women were denied an education. Women were aloud to read and write but they were denied to go to colleges.  Slaves were not aloud to read and write, if they did so they could be punished with torture and even death.  During their fight for freedom they both read the U.S. Declaration of Independance and used it on their side.  "All men were created equal" is what the slaves used.  No matter what skin color all men were created equal.  "Everyone has the right of the pursuit of happiness" is what woman used on their side.  No matter what race and what gender everyone has the right of the pursuit of happiness.

United States and Cuba meeting

The United States and Cuba will meet together (1st time in over half a century)

• Meeting between Barack Obama and Raul Castro 
• Meeting held in Panama 
• Obama and Castro will at least shake hands
• U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez will be there as well 
• The highest level of meeting

My thoughts:   I think this could be a very good meeting for the countries. I think this meeting can solve some differences between the countries. this meeting could also stop the hatred that each country has for each other.
