This book was written by Solomon Northrup, a free black man from the North who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the South. The book was one of the most brutal narrative depictions of slavery and it painted slavery in a very different light than people had typically seen it.

The book was one of the highest-selling of the time. In the North, it was received very well, but in the South, it received lots of push back.

Written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin made the division between the North and South deeper, and strengthened abolition in the North. This was because it demonstrated the problems and harsh reality of slavery in a way that resounded with audiences. It's message was that everyone needed freedom and equality, and that slavery was inhumane.

When Uncle Tom's Cabin was first published in 1852, it sold 300,000 copies. By 1857, it had sold 3 million.

According to the speech, delivered to the anti-slavery society, the 4th of July is a day that reminds slaves of the "injustice and cruelty" that they are experiencing. The day reminds them of America's mockery and hypocrisy. Douglas's message is that the nation needs to understand this and denounce slavery. This speech is powerful because of how Douglass called out the United States of America's mockery, through powerful word choice, imagery, and metaphors. He plainly points out the immorality and inhumanity of the nation's treatment of slaves.

This document was a declaration of intent from the Anti Slavery Society, a group designed to fight against slavery. The Anti Slavery Society sent lecturers around the country to convince people of slavery's evil and ultimately fight to stop it. The main message of this declaration was that slavery is a moral evil and should be outlawed.

In the beginning the Anti Slavery Society sought to abolish slavery peacefully, but over time tensions between the free North and slave South grew. The society's efforts along with this declaration were met with resistance from the South.
