David Walker & Walker’s Appeal

EQ What was the purpose of Walker writing his appeal and how did he feel about the conditions of AAs in America? Please sit in small groups at each of the tables

David Walker's Appeal, arguably the most radical of all anti-slavery documents, caused a great stir when it was published in September of 1829 with its call for slaves to revolt against their masters. David Walker, a free black originally from the South wrote, ". . .they want us for their slaves, and think nothing of murdering us. . . therefore, if there is an attempt made by us, kill or be killed. . . and believe this, that it is no more harm for you to kill a man who is trying to kill you, than it is for you to take a drink of water when thirsty." Even the outspoken William Lloyd Garrison objected to Walker's approach in an editorial about the Appeal.

The goal of the Appeal was to instill pride in its black readers and give hope that change would someday come. It spoke out against colonization, a popular movement that sought to move free blacks to a colony in Africa. America, Walker believed, belonged to all who helped build it. He went even further, stating, "America is more our country than it is the whites -- we have enriched it with our blood and tears." He then asked, "will they drive us from our property and homes, which we have earned with our blood?"

Today’s Assignment We will read excerpts of Walker’s appeal We will work in small groups and translate Walker’s Appeal. You will fill in the you group’s answer next to the appropriate number. We will share our finding with the class.(You will fill in the results of peers next to the appropriate number.

Example(I did number 1) I have travelled across the U.S. and I have come to the conclusion that AAs are the most abused, hated, and tormented people to ever live on this planet. I hope that these abuses will never happen to anyone else ever again. Israelites, slaves in both Sparta and Rome never had it as bad as slaves in the US and they were owned by people that did not have Christian values.
