Reform movements

• How would you describe the reform movements of the early 1800’s?

Abolition During the colonial era, the abolitionist movement had been dominated by the Quakers. As an effect of the American Revolution many northern states began to gradually emancipate slaves. Further expansion of slavery was limited by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which prohibited the extension of slavery into the Northwest Territories. Slavery was further hampered in 1808 when the ban on the importation of African slaves was enacted. During this time, the abolitionist movement confined itself to promoting the resettlement of African-Americans to the new colony of Liberia. The Second Great Awakening marked a resurgence of the abolitionist movement. By 1833 the abolitionist movement began to organize itself into a mass movement. Among the most notable abolitionists were the following:

The campaign included both men and women; Northerners and some Southerners. For the first time, African-Americans began to play a significant role in the movement. Instead of a gradualist approach, the new abolitionists advocated for immediate emancipation without compensation for slave owners. The “Garrisonians”, taking their name from their leader, William Lloyd Garrison, promoted direct action to end slavery. Abolition became a divisive issue as the southern states reacted against the growing hostility in the North toward slavery.

AbolitionistWilliam Lloyd Garrison

• He was the leading voice for temperance, women’s equality and immediate emancipation.

• He was the founder and editor of The Liberator.

• Garrison’s newspaper was the leading abolitionist newspaper

Abolitionist Frederick Douglass

• former slave. • worked for Garrison

and traveled widely, giving eloquent speeches on behalf of equality for African Americans

• autobiographies • The North Star. • Douglass was the most

influential African-American in the abolitionist movement.

Abolitionist The Grimke sisters

• Sarah and Angelina, • southern women who

lectured publicly throughout the northern states about the evils of slavery they had seen growing up on a plantation.

• Their public careers began when Garrison published a letter from Angelina in his newspaper.

• equality for women and African-Americans.

Abolitionist

• Harriet Tubman=Underground railroad• Frederick Douglas=freed slave that gave

speeches against slavery.

Nat Turner Rebellion

• African American preacher Nat Turner believed his mission on Earth was to free his people from slavery. Seeing an 1831 solar eclipse as a message from above, he led a slave rebellion on four Virginia plantations. About 60 whites were killed before Turner and his band were captured, tried, and executed. Fear and anger over the murder of primarily women and children led to many innocent African-Americans becoming victims of mob violence. Virginia, who had been considering banning slavery, instead passed a series of laws to strengthen the institution of slavery. Other southern states quickly passed laws that emulated Virginia’s revised slave codes.

• Horace Mann=leader in pushing for public education. “it is hard for a country without an educated populace to survive, much less prosper”

Women’s Suffrage

• Seneca Falls Conference= the unofficial beginning of the women’s suffrage movement.

• Elizabeth Cady Stanton proposed seeking women’s suffrage here. “We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men and women are created equal.”

• They raised money, passed out literature, wrote a list of grievances, and collected signatures for petitions to send to Congress.
