1 Nat Turner Slave Rebellion What is happening in this picture?

2 Slave Rebellions Slave rebellions scared the pants off of Southerners –Famous Virginian rebellions were led by Nat Turner and Gabriel Prosser So the Southerners cracked down with harsh fugitive slave laws Those who opposed slavery in the South (yes, there were Southerners who disliked slavery), we’re over-come by those supporting it –They were intimidated into silence

3 William Lloyd Garrison– The Liberator William Lloyd Garrison was an abolitionist. What do you think that means? He published The Liberator newspaper which called for an immediate end to slavery, saying the institution of slavery violated basic Christian principles. Do you agree with him? Men like Garrison worried people in the South. Why might he have done so?
