Contingency and History: Frederick Douglass’s War on Slavery

To be “contingent” “depending on something else that might or might not happen”

Historical contingency The idea that historical events are dependent (or contingent) on multiple causes that shape when, how, and why an event occurs The ways culture, history, and environment shape human character, beliefs, and values at specific moments in time The opposite of inevitability

The Antislavery Movement The emergence of radical abolitionism in the 1830s: why then? 1. Influence of evangelical Christianity 2. Rebellions in the Caribbean 3. Influence of British antislavery and the Slavery Abolition Act of Growing understanding of the South's commitment to slavery 5. William Lloyd Garrison and the founding of the Liberator in 1831 and the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1833

William Lloyd Garrison

The Liberator, Jan. 1, 1831 I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or to speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; -- but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest -- I will not equivocate -- I will not excuse -- I will not retreat a single inch -- AND I WILL BE HEARD. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead.

Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison, George Thompson

“Remember Americans, that we must and shall be free and enlightened as you are. Will you wait until we shall, under God, obtain our liberty by the crushing arm of power? Will it not be dreadful for you? I speak Americans for your good. We must and shall be free I say, in spite of you. You may do your best to keep us in wretchedness and misery, to enrich you and your children; but God will deliver us from under you. And wo, wo, will be to you if we have to obtain our freedom by fighting.” David Walker, Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World,
