  • Essay / Anti-slavery movement versus abolitionist movement - 737

    The anti-slavery movement had begun before the mid-19th century; it wasn't new to anyone. However, in the mid-19th century, movements against slavery intensified and gained strength. These movements were specifically focused on the Southern slave system. Before the 1830s, there were anti-slavery movements; after the 1830s, abolitionist movements began. Despite the fact that they were both opposed to the same subject, both had different impacts on the nation. One was more peaceful, the other was considered fanatical and dangerous because of those who supported him. The anti-slavery movement was subtle. Those who participated in the moment were generally calm and distinguished. Instead of engaging in overt activities, the population regularly expressed moral disapproval. When they focused on an orderly anti-slavery movement, it focused on the concept of colonization. Its goal was to resettle African Americans in other locations, such as Africa or the Caribbean. A small group of prominent white Virginians organized the American colonization system in 1817. The way it was organized was intended to effectively challenge slavery without challenging Southern property rights or sentiments. It encouraged masters to free their slaves, primarily by paying them with funds raised by private charities or by state legislatures. Then the company will take the freed slaves to another country and help the slaves settle down and create a new society elsewhere. Those who funded the ACS were private donors, for example members of Congress and the legislatures of Virginia and Maryland. These funds organized the shipment of several slaves out of the country. However, the ACS was a failure and was an unimportant force...... middle of paper ......r in Illinois. He was attacked several times by mob violence. After three attempts to destroy his press, angry whites set fire to his building and shot him dead as he tried to flee. Others have resorted to propaganda to arouse public anger. The most influential propaganda was the book "Uncle Tom's Cabin." However, others used more moderate means, hoping that abolition could be achieved through a long and patient struggle. They depended on “moral suasion” and political action. The anti-slavery movement had no effect in the nation. In reality, they tried to find a way not to bother the southerners. However, he had no more strength and passed out. Today, the abolitionist movement is a major reminder of how slavery divided America. Abolitionists were not people who took political commitments lightly. They were more inflamed and provoked powerful opposition.
