what was the difference between lucretia mott and elizabeth stanton's views on womens rights?

I know that they both wanted womens rights but one of them had a different opinion on womens rights. i just am not sure what it is. was it that Lucretia Mott focused on womens rights for African American women slaves while Elizabeth just wanted rights for all women or for only whites? if someone could please clarify this for me, and i would like an answer with a source if possible. thanks so much!

    It was more complex and political, is my understanding. Mott has served as Stanton's mentor and supporter, but resigned from the American Equal Rights Association they'd founded when Stanton sided with Susan B. Anthony in a disagreement over whether focus should be on rights for women or rights for freed black men.

    Mott was apparently a skilled arbitrator and peacemaker who could get people to agree, but in this case there were continued falling-outs.
