Beliefs (Con’t) ___________________ Emancipation without repatriation would lead to chaos Colonization would not cause friction between slaveholders who freed some slaves and those that retained slaves Most time spent of encouraging freed blacks to leave the United States …placed in the rear of our neighbors who are exempt from slavery, in the state of agriculture, the progress of manufactures, the advance of improvements, and the general prosperity of society. How do you think most blacks felt about colonization?
Militant Abolition David Walker Henry Highland Garnet John Brown Refer to An Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World Henry Highland Garnet A Memorial Discourse _______________________ John Brown Believed God wanted him to end slavery through an armed insurrection
William Lloyd Garrison In 1831, William Lloyd Garrison publishes the weekly journal, The Liberator Ideas Immediate emancipation North was compliant in slavery Should abrogate the Constitution and dissolve Union Blacks must be recognized as part of American Society Abolition must be attained with non-violence I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice.
