<p>oh also would you be able to answer question 18 on page 619?</p>

<p>bump please?</p>

<p>come on guys… 40 views and no responses? i looked in the consolidated list of CR answers and it isn’t there. can you guys help me out?</p>

<p>Douglass has beef with Lucy Stone because, although she claims to be pro-women’s rights AND abolitionist, she has no qualms about attending events that discriminate against Blacks and even inviting to women’s rights event enemies of abolitionism, e.g. Stephen Douglas.</p>

<p>Thus, Lucy Stone puts the priority on her main cause (women’s rights), which supersedes her abolitionist views.</p>

<p>If you look at the other answer choices:
B) opposite of the way Douglass feels
C) she compromises for WOMEN’s rights, not ABOLITION
D) she wouldn’t have invited S. Douglas if they didn’t have views in common
E) her decision are not the result of naivete, but of consciously prioritizing women’s rights.</p>

<p>Check out the conclusion of the passage. Douglass helped the women’s mvmt become more aware of abolitionist/Black issues. And, lines 31+ talk about how the women’s mvmt broadened Douglass’s perspectives and advocacy. However, it wasn’t always roses between them (see Q13, 15, 16, 17)</p>

<p>The other answers:
B) some of the issues at stakes were quite specific, e.g. ownership of property, line 34-5
C) no mention of the inception of either movement
D) no mention of relative popularity as time passed
E) while the groups had some disagreement, they were hardly reluctant to work together and recognized the value of each other’s cause</p>
