Early Opposition to Slavery The events leading up to the Civil War generally surrounded the idea of abolitionism, or the abolishment of slavery. Different opinions on how to end slavery. – Gradualism – American Colonization Society Sent African Americans to Africa. Acquired land in West Africa=> Created Liberia. – Too expensive to transport, ACS abandoned.

The New Abolitionists The abolitionist movement came out of the Second Great Awakening. – Sin and Repentance – Slavery is a sin that our country needs to repent. Abolitionists agreed that enslaved Africans should be freed immediately. – William Lloyd Garrison Founded the newspaper Liberator. – Called for emancipation, or the immediate freeing of all enslaved people founded American Antislavery Society

The New Abolitionists Free African Americans also played a huge role in the abolitionist movement. – Frederick Douglass Escaped slavery in Maryland. Wrote autobiography-Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass Published anti-slavery newspaper North Star – Sojourner Truth Uneducated, but deeply religious and a great speaker. Drew huge crowds.

Response to Abolitionism Many people did not approve of the rapid freedom of slaves. – Possible results of rapid abolition: Conflict btw North and South Huge influx of African Americans to the North. Destroy southern economy, which would destroy the northern economy.

Southern View of Slavery Southerners viewed slavery as a necessity. – Without slavery… Economy would collapse. Racism would be rampant. Freed slaves would have no training or job skills other than manual labor.

Southern View of Slavery After Nat Turner’s rebellion in 1831, many southerners began to suppress the abolitionist movement. – Stop the circulation of the Liberator and other anti-slavery newspapers. – Southern Congressional leaders halted abolitionist bills and petitions in the House of Representatives.
