QUICK WRITE / WARM-UP

1. Is there a significant dif ference in your mind
between Abolitionism and Anti-Slavery? Explain!

Part of the Compromise of 1850 (which helped bring

about popular sovereignty) was the issuance of a
strong Fugitive Slave Law. This law mandated that
Northerners return runaway slaves.

2. Why do you think the North so strongly resented

the Fugitive Slave Law?
3. Why do you think the Sough resented northern
resistance to enforcing it.

David Walkers Appeal document that calls for
slaves to revolt against their masters
See your Declaration Americans! ! ! Do you
understand your won language? Hear your
languages, proclaimed to the world, July 4th, 1776 - "We hold these truths to be self evident -- that ALL
MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL! ! that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienable
rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness! !" Compare your own
language above, extracted from your Declaration of
Independence, with your cruelties and murders
inflicted by your cruel and unmerciful fathers and
yourselves on our fathers and on us -- men who
have never given your fathers or you the least
provocation! ! ! ! ! !

Many in the South defended
slavery as a positive good
John C. Calhoun
But I take higher ground. I
hold that in the present state
of civilization, where two races
of different origin, and
distinguished by color, and
other physical differences, as
well as intellectual, are brought
together, the relation now
existing in the slaveholding
States between the two, is,
instead of an evil, a gooda
positive good.
