Lucretia Mott, an active Quaker minister during the antislavery movement who fought for the equal rights of African-Americans and women was a Hicksite Quaker. This meant she considered slavery to be immoral and believed it should be abolished. These beliefs, along with the death of one of her children, led her to speak at multiple Quaker meetings which helped her cope with her son’s death and spread her beliefs to other Quakers. Her persuasive speeches allowed her to be recognized by others, including Elizabeth Stanton and Susan B, Anthony, who convinced her to speak at and organize numerous anti-slavery and women’s rights conventions.
