Seneca Falls, New York 1848
Elizabeth Stanton and woman talking about changing women's rights
The Seneca Falls convention contributed to the Nation’s expansion and freedom because it gave women more rights, strengthening their economy. Since women get more rights, they feel no sex is above the other, and are equally same. Now women won’t start riots and protests against the government, which helps the government to not fall. Some men feel that this is the right decision because thirty-two men signed the paper, but others might think they are always above the other sex and are now not special anymore.

The War of 1812 contributed to the Nation’s expansion and freedom because it strengthened their borders against Canada and Mexico. The British were in the nation’s way of trade and commerce by taking over their ships and goods traveling to other places. So signing the Ghent treaty with the British helped them to trade goods across the world and grow more and more. The British now couldn’t interfere with America and stay inferior to the nation in power because of the signed treaty.
