Abolitionism by Dylan Cavallaro https://padlet.com/dylan_cavallaro/sh6sxsfpv4db Analyze the causes of the growing opposition to slavery in the United States from 1776 to 1852 en-us 2019-02-21 17:33:03 UTC 2026-02-08 00:19:09 UTC hello@padlet.com Abolitionist Sources dylan_cavallaro https://padlet.com/dylan_cavallaro/sh6sxsfpv4db/wish/333756661 This document is made of different excepts from famous abolitionists from 1831 to 1861. Many of these sources are form speeches or literature directed towards the free north and what they can do but also to slaves and what they can do too. These helped educate others on why slavery is so bad and why it needed to be stopped. This created more and more tension between the north and the south but also the south and the slaves. One example in the document it states, "The time has come when you must act for yourselves. . . . You can do the work of emancipation better than any
others. . . However much you and all of us may desire it, there is not much hope of redemption without the shedding
of blood. If you must bleed, let it all come at once . . ." This quote was meant for the slaves and that they need to stand up for themselves even if it causes some deaths for slaves.]]> 2019-02-21 17:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_cavallaro/sh6sxsfpv4db/wish/333756661 Causes of the Civil War dylan_cavallaro https://padlet.com/dylan_cavallaro/sh6sxsfpv4db/wish/333765817 This document is made up of many different excerpts that directly link to why the civil war happened. Some of these excerpts talk about how the law was changed over and over again to try to compromise and handle both sides of the country. These compromises didn't please the north or the south and only created more tension between them. The compromises and the laws were considered unfair to either side. One example in the document, Document 5 states that there was an act made in 1854 called, "The Kansas-Nebraska Act". This act made it so Kansas and Nebraska when they were to become states, they could choose whether or not they wanted to be a slave state or a free state. The people in the north and the south but also those who lived in the territory had different views. Some people wanted it to be a slave state and others wanted it to be a free state. This caused multiple battles to break out to try to decide it.]]> 2019-02-21 17:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_cavallaro/sh6sxsfpv4db/wish/333765817 Is Lincoln Racist dylan_cavallaro https://padlet.com/dylan_cavallaro/sh6sxsfpv4db/wish/341709494 This document talks mostly about Abraham Lincoln and if he was racist or not. In the document it shows Lincoln talking about race and his views on it. He talks about how he is against slavery but he agrees that white is more superior than black. For example in the documents Lincoln states, "There is a physical difference between the
two, which in my judgment will probably forever forbid their living
together in perfect equality, and. . . I, as well as Judge Douglas,
am in favor of the race to which I belong, having the superior
position."]]> 2019-03-15 12:10:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_cavallaro/sh6sxsfpv4db/wish/341709494 Abolition dylan_cavallaro https://padlet.com/dylan_cavallaro/sh6sxsfpv4db/wish/341722382 This document contains excepts from different abolitionists. These abolitionists talk about why slavery is so bad and why we need to end it. The documents further talk about things people up the the north can do to stop slavery. One example of this in the documents states, "
  1. Speak for the slave...
  2. Write for the slave....
  3. Petition for the slave. Begin at once to circulate petitions for the immediate abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and in Florida, against the admission of Florida into the Union as a slave state, for the prohibition of the internal slave trade...Let every abolitionist bestir himself also in circulating petitions to the legislature of the state in which he lives, praying the repeal of all laws graduating rights by the skin.
  4. Work for the slave. Distribute anti-slavery publications, circulate them in your neighborhood, take them with you on journeys, take them as you go to meetings, to the polls, to the stores, to mill, to school, and every where; establish an anti-slavery library; get subscribers for anti-slavery newspapers, and collect money for anti-slavery societies; gather facts illustrating the condition of slaves; search out all who have lived in slave states, get them to write out their testimony as to the food, clothing, lodging, shelter, labor, and punishments of slaves, their moral condition, the licentiousness of slave-holders, &c., &c., and forward them to some anti-slavery paper for publication...
  5. Work for the free people of color; …
" This talks about things that abolitionists can do to stop slavery and raise awareness on the subject matter.

The documents talked about slavery and how more slaves are starting to become free. The documents talked about the fact that people need to rally up to fight slavery. For example the document states, "With entire confidence in the overruling justice of God, we plant ourselves upon the
Declaration of Independence, and upon the truths of Divine Revelation. . . .
We shall organize Anti-Slavery Societies, if possible, in every city, town, and village of
our land.
We shall send forth Agents to lift up the voice of remonstrance, of warning, of entreaty
and rebuke. . . .

The documents talk about people and laws that were passed due to abolitionists. For example in  the document it states, "Music was one of the most powerful weapons of the abolitionists. In 1848, William Wells Brown, abolitionist and former slave, published The Anti-Slavery Harp, “a collection of songs for anti-slavery meetings,” which contains songs and occasional poems. The Anti-Slavery Harp is in the format of a “songster”—giving the lyrics and indicating the tunes to which they are to be sung, but with no music. The book is open to the pages containing lyrics to the tune of the “Marseillaise,” the French national anthem, which to 19th-century Americans symbolized the determination to bring about freedom, by force if necessary." This shows that music was one method to convince slaves and free men to stand up to fight slavery. This was done over time to try and fight slavery. ]]> 2019-03-26 17:41:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_cavallaro/sh6sxsfpv4db/wish/345386390 Paragraph Response dylan_cavallaro https://padlet.com/dylan_cavallaro/sh6sxsfpv4db/wish/345396400 Slavery has been around for centuries. Eventually around the world more and more countries decided enough was enough. They began to fight slavery. This movement eventually spread to America. Slavery in the United States was a growing problem from 1776 to 1852. 

There was many methods abolitionists did to try to prevent and end slavery. Some of these methods were more aggressive than others. One example of an aggressive method was fighting. Tension in the United States was building and sometimes free people fought slave owners or visa versa. A lot of the time this method was efficient. If the slave owner was killed or hurt, the slaves had an opportunity to escape. Another benefit of this method was that it scared other slave owners, possibly making them give up their slaves more easily. A problem with this method was that it helped trigger the civil war where both sides had much blood shed. 

Another method to end slavery was literature. Countless abolitionists during this time wrote books, letters, speeches, poems, memoirs, documents, etc. to try to convince and show the United States why slavery needed to be stopped and how they can help the cause. One example of this was stated in the Abolitionist Sources. This document states, "The time has come when you must act for yourselves. . . . You can do the work of emancipation better than any
others. . . However much you and all of us may desire it, there is not much hope of redemption without the shedding
of blood. If you must bleed, let it all come at once . . ." This was an except from one abolitionist. This piece of writing was made to motivate, inspire, and educate slaves about standing up and fighting for whats right. The document was made to help make slaves fight their masters even if it means they die to try to save other slaves lives. ]]> 2019-03-26 17:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_cavallaro/sh6sxsfpv4db/wish/345396400
