No, Harriet Beecher Stowe did not attend the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. The convention was primarily focused on women's rights and suffrage, whereas Stowe was more known for her activism against slavery through her novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
Sojourner Truth began her fight against slavery in the mid-19th century, particularly gaining prominence after the 1851 Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio, where she delivered her famous "Ain't I a Woman?" speech. Born into slavery in 1797, she escaped in 1826 and spent the following decades advocating for abolition and women's rights. Her activism continued until her death in 1883, making her a key figure in both the abolitionist and women's rights movements.

Antislavery supporters in Kansas established a rival government in response to the pro-slavery government that was formed after the controversial Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. This act allowed settlers to decide on the legality of slavery in their territories, leading to violent conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas." The antislavery faction sought to assert their rights and establish a government that reflected their opposition to slavery, aiming to create a free state. This parallel government was a direct challenge to the pro-slavery establishment and illustrated the escalating tensions over the issue of slavery in the United States.

I am against slavery in any form. Slavery is a violation of human rights and goes against the principles of equality and freedom. It is important to advocate for the abolition of slavery and support efforts to eradicate this grave injustice.
The antislavery group, primarily active in the 19th century, worked to end the institution of slavery and promote the rights of enslaved individuals. They organized protests, published pamphlets, and spread awareness about the inhumane conditions of slavery. Additionally, they supported the Underground Railroad, assisted runaway slaves, and lobbied for legislative changes to abolish slavery. Their efforts contributed significantly to the eventual passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in the United States.
