1 Resistance to Slavery

2 Learning Targets I can define popular sovereignty and explain its impact on the conflict between North and South. I can describe the role of prominent abolitionists leading up to the Civil War. I can summarize the main message and describe the impact of Uncle Tom’s Cabin on the abolition movement.

3 Fugitive Slave Act (1850) Required all runaway slaves to be returned to owners, even if found in the North. Northerners resisted it: Helped runaway slaves go to Canada Tried to free slaves in prisons Passed state laws that went against Fugitive Slave Act.

4 Harriet Tubman Abolitionists started the underground railroad to help slaves escape North. Harriet Tubman was the most famous “conductor”. Made 19 trips and helped 300 slaves escape.

5 “Popular Sovereignty” in Territories
Popular sovereignty for slavery = states get to choose whether they are free or slave. Northerners angry; Southerners happy. Allowed the possibility of slavery in previously non-slave states.

6 Kansas Issue Missouri slave owners crossed the border into Kansas to vote “slave state”. They won. Abolitionists in Kansas were angry. They set up an anti-slavery town, Lawrence. Lawrence was “sacked” by pro-slavery men. Destroyed buildings, looted houses.

7 John Brown John Brown was a strong abolitionist.
He thought 5 men were killed at Lawrence (they weren’t). Retaliated by killing 5 pro-slavery men. Brown wanted to start a slave rebellion in Harper’s Ferry, Virginia. Rebellion failed to start—Brown’s men killed. Brown was hanged for treason.

8 Harriet Beecher Stowe Abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin in 1852. Accurately depicted treatment of slaves. Opened Northerners’ eyes to the brutality. Sold over 1 million copies by 1853 (total population was 23 million).

9 Frederick Douglas African-American social reformer, orator, writer, and statesman became great orator for abolitionist cause helped lead the American Anti-Slavery Society established North Star Abolitionist newspaper

10 Learning Targets I can define popular sovereignty and explain its impact on the conflict between North and South. I can describe the role of prominent abolitionists leading up to the Civil War. I can summarize the main message and describe the impact of Uncle Tom’s Cabin on the abolition movement.
