Before the early 1830s, slavery was discussed calmly.
Since slavery was banned in the North, most of the
early abolitionists
were southerners.
The first abolitionists were Quakers, who
believed that all people had the same
`spark of divinity,' making slavery
immoral.
Quakers were among the first to free their slaves. Some Quakers traveled the countryside urging
slave-owners to free their slaves.
In the 1820s, Benjamin Lundy also urged
southerners to free their slaves, and for the nation to help free
blacks move to Haiti, Canada or Texas (which was still part of Mexico).

B. Introduced an Constitutional amendment to abolish slavery

B. Both helped runaway slaves escape to the North.
C. Both tried to persuade slave owners rather than use violence or insults.
D. Both spoke out publicly in speeches against slavery.
Benjamin Banneker was a free black
born in Maryland.
• A mathematician and astronomer, he published an almanac that rivaled Franklin's for accuracy.
• John Adams cited Banneker's achievements as proof that intelligence is not a factor of skin color.
Later in life, Banneker
surveyed the District of
Colombia and contributed to the
design of the capital city.
He corresponded with Washington, Jefferson and others about the evils of slavery.
But because of the increasing profitability of cotton production, Banneker and the
Quakers were not able to influence many slave-owners.

Write down the letter of every true response to this question!
In the 1820s, a large anti-slavery movement emerged, supported by southerners and
represented by organizations such as the American Colonization Society.
While those who believed in
colonization opposed slavery, they also believed
that blacks and whites could not live together in
harmony.
Therefore, while they urged slave-owners to free their slaves, they also raised money to pay for the
transportation of free blacks to West Africa.
President James Monroe, Chief Justice John Marshall and House Speaker Henry Clay were supporters of the
colonization movement.
For a time, even Southern slave-owners who rejected abolition often
supported colonization of free blacks.

supported colonization of free blacks.
By 1860, nearly 11,000 blacks had gone to
Liberia in West Africa, and helped found and
build that country.

William Lloyd Garrison was one of the most uncompromising
abolitionists of his day.
• He said slave-owners were evil and should not receive reimburse-ment for slaves freed by legislation.
• Abolition must be complete, immediate, and without compensation.
Garrison didn't care what other social or economic problems might be caused by
immediate emancipation.
• His words were so extreme and so harsh that he alienated many people who might otherwise have supported his cause.
In the South, Garrison was despised as one who encouraged slaves to revolt.

Copies of his antislavery
newspaper “The Liberator” were
banned, and a $5,000 reward was offered to
anyone who would capture Garrison and bring him to Georgia
to stand trial.
“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 speak, or write, with moderation. . . I will not
equivocate – I will not excuse – I will not retreat a single inch – and I WILL BE HEARD!”
