2. Colonization In 1816, the American Colonization Society was founded
Beliefs

3. How do you think most blacks felt about colonization?
Beliefs (Con’t)
___________________
Emancipation without repatriation would lead to chaos
Colonization would not cause friction between slaveholders who freed some slaves and those that retained slaves
Most time spent of encouraging freed blacks to leave the United States
…placed in the rear of our neighbors who are exempt from slavery, in the state of agriculture, the progress of manufactures, the advance of improvements, and the general prosperity of society.
How do you think most blacks felt about colonization?

John Brown
Believed God wanted him to end slavery through an armed insurrection

5. William Lloyd Garrison
In 1831, William Lloyd Garrison publishes the weekly journal, The Liberator
Ideas
Immediate emancipation
North was compliant in slavery
Should abrogate the Constitution and dissolve Union
Blacks must be recognized as part of American Society
Abolition must be attained with non-violence
I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, speak, or write with moderation.

6. Spreading the Message
Moral Suasion  Use morality; slaveholders must be convinced of the sinful nature of slavery and the North convinced of the sinful nature of complacency
Criticism
This approach left nothing for slaves to do in seeking their own liberation.

10. The Underground Railroad
Underground Railroad  A loose organization of sympathetic abolitionists who hid fugitives in their homes and sent them on to the next “station”
I have never approved of the very public manner in which some of our western friends have conducted what they call the Underground Railroad, but which I think, by their open declarations, has been made most emphatically the upperground railroad.
