Lucretia Mott Lucretia was born on January 3rd, 1793 in Nantucket Massachusetts. Lucretia’s parents sent her to boarding school in Boston, when she was only 11 years old. Lucretia was the second child of Thomas Coffin and Anna Folgin. Lucretia was a very educated child. She taught at her friend’s school, she taught about temperance and peace. Lucretia married a teacher named James Mott. They had six children together and their first child died at age five. Lucretia’s son Thomas died unknown and her father died of Typhus.

Lucretia was against slavery and created an organization called Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery. James was against slavery too. They would not use anything that slaves made because they felt that it was wrong for slaves to work that hard. Also they would hide slaves in their house. Lucretia was a very nice young women she never did anything wrong. Lucretia was a very warm hearted woman. Sadly she died before women had the right to vote.

Lucretia’s death is also unknown and still to this day no one knows how Lucretia died. Many people say she died unexpected or died of old age. Lucretia also used to say very strong quotes such as “We often bind ourselves by authorities rather than by the truth.” Lucretia is the reason why we have freedom today and we should thank her for that. That quote means that many people believe what police say is “right” and they don’t really think about the truth. Many people look up to that quote still to this day.

Lucretia is the main reason why we have freedom today because many white folk back in the day used us black people for very simple things and we didn’t have the right to do anything but work every day and night and we didn’t get anything to eat. Thanks to Lucretia we have the right to eat and a place to stay. Many people to this day still use black folks very brutal and violent. Us black folk forgive white people it’s just that the white folks are mad because they don’t have the right to rule anything. Lucretia wasn’t the only Quaker who didn’t have the right to vote or have the right to own a little piece of property many women like: Elizabeth Candy Stanton, Susan B Anthony, and Margrate Sanger.
