  5. The Abolitionist Movement

  6. Background of the Abolition Movement • 1820s; reform movement to end evils of slavery • Economic Issue: Few people joined the movement early on because they felt it would take a major revolution to be rid of the institution • Why? Why was Southern economy so entrenched in slavery? Why couldn’t the South just start freeing slaves gradually? Would it be enough to please reformists? • Political Issue: Reformists who butted heads with Jacksonian Democrats in the 1830s became Whigs (party of intellectuals and reformists)

  7. Quakers and Women • Quakers: Christian religious movement which came to America from England in 1600s to escape religious persecution • Big part of Abolition Movement-felt slavery was not sanctioned by the Bible (Southern counter-argument?) • Helped organize and operate the Underground R.R. • Women: many joined movement after being influenced by 2nd Great Awakening (Maria Stewart, Angelina and Sarah Grimke) • Many male abolitionists did not want women to join-WHY? • Being left out, women started the Women Rights Movement!

  9. William Lloyd Garrison

  10. William Lloyd Garrison • Founded and edited The Liberator and established the New England Anti-Slavery Society • Operated “outside of the political system” • Burned copies of the Constitution in public! • Why do you think he called the Constitution a “pact with hell” and the Founding Fathers “hypocrites”? • Wanted immediate abolition & total equality for blacks; completely supported women’s participation in the cause • Very radical views even for abolitionists

  11. David Walker

  12. David Walker • Born a free man and later obtained an education • Wrote Appeal…to the Coloured Citizens of the World in 1829 • Urged slaves to revolt and fight for freedom • One of the most radical documents of movement • Utilized his used clothes store in Boston to smuggle copies of his Appeal to the South • South reacts by passing laws prohibiting abolition propaganda and forbidding slaves from becoming literate • Found dead outside of shop; probably poisoned

  13. Fredrick Douglass

  14. Fredrick Douglass • Former slave (learned to read/write); escaped to North • Began as a disciple of Garrison’s “outside of the political system” approach, but then takes on opposite approach in 1840s • Why do you think he did? • Founder and editor of The North Star • Great and intelligent man; fantastic public speaker • In a colorblind world, he would have had a shot at president

  15. Women’s Rights Movement

  16. Origins and Focus • Movement started by female abolitionists who were prevented from publically participating; felt compelled to start their own movement • Women wanted rights to own property and vote • How were women unequal to men during this time? Is there equality between the sexes today? Explain. • Sarah and Angelina Grimke: daughters of slave owners; became abolitionists then women’s rights activists • Sojourner Truth: escaped slave who gets freedom; abolitionist then women’s right (Ain’t I a Woman?)

  17. Movement Catches On • Seneca Falls Convention: July 1848 women’s rights meeting in New York State • Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott draft Declaration of Sentiments (like Walker’s Appeal, modeled on Declaration of Independence) • 1850s, movement catches on; Garrison joins and Susan B. Anthony joins later on • 1920, 19th Amendment finally passed
