Question

The major figures and issues of the abolitionist crusade. what were the internal conflicts in the crusade as well as its conflicts with American society in general.

Answer 1

William Lloyd Garrison was among the loudest of the abolitionist, insisting that something had to be done when a majority of Americans were fine with the status quo. He was joined in the movement by fellow Bostonians, together with Maria Weston Chapman, a newspaper The Liberator was published exspousing the cause for freeing the slaves. Other prominent Bostonians were Robert Gould Shaw and Charles Sumner who was nearly beaten to death by a Southernor who is still considered a hero for silencing the Boston Abolitionist with a cane used as a club,

Many of the ablutionist were black; thus those that raise the stars & bars claim their participation is 'tainted.' Among them Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas and William , were quite active in the movement.

The biggest internal conflict revolved around 'how far' to take the movement. Were speeches and pamphlets enough or should abolotionist take up arms and force the issue. At issue, an issue still raised today, was should slavery be allowed in the South if that is what the South wanted. That it was their right to have slaves. Naturally this negates the rights of the slaves to be fee but the stars & bars crowd doesn't see why this ought to matter. States rights they argue trump individual rights.

Among the abolitionist insisting on taking up arms to free the slaves was John Brown, he represented the radical wing of the movement. He was what would now be called a terrorit.

Gonna throw links and words at you I have already angered the MM society and others enough with my belief that slavery was wrong.

"""In 1831, leading Boston abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879) started the antislavery paper The Liberator on this site. The Liberator became the most influential abolitionist paper in America. Maria Weston Chapman (1806-1885), a founder of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, was Garrison's chief assistant, helping him run the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, edit The Liberator, and edit the Non-Resistant, the publication of Garrison's New England Non-Resistant Society. Maria Stewart (1803-1879), an outspoken advocate of African American self-determination and vindication, had many of her speeches and advertisements for her lectures published in The Liberator. The paper's office moved to Cornhill in 1834 and, unfortunately, the Great Fire of 1872 destroyed the building.

Sarah Parker Remond, an international antislavery lecturer, made her first act of public resistance at the Howard Athenæum. In 1853, Remond purchased tickets by mail for a performance at the Howard, but when she arrived on the night of the performance, the theater would not allow her to sit in the seats she had paid for and tried to force her to sit in the segregated gallery. She refused, left, sued the theater, and won $500 in damages. In 1856, she became an agent of the American Anti-Slavery Society, and, from 1856 to 1865, she frequently lectured in the United States and England on the evils of slavery and segregation
Former slaves Harriet (1816-1893) and Lewis Hayden (1815-1859) were heavily involved with the abolition movement. Their house became an important station on the Underground Railroad and is the most documented one in Boston. Two of the many fugitive slaves who stayed there were Ellen Craft (1826-1897) and her husband, William. When they escaped in 1848, Craft disguised herself as her master, bandaged as if ill, and tended to by her husband as if he were her slave. They escaped in their disguises from Georgia by taking the train and steamer to Boston, where they stayed with the Haydens, and joined the abolition movement.

After the Civil War, Harriet Hayden, her husband died in battle, continued advocating for African Americans, and, in the late 19th century, she bequeathed a scholarship for "needy and worthy colored students" at Harvard Medical School. """

"""""As early as 1786, organizations had been founded to protest the practice of slavery in the United States. For instance, the Pennsylvania Abolition society, whose members included George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine and the Marquis de Lafayette, was one of the many abolitionist groups that assisted fugitive slaves in their attempts to find freedom in the Free States. People who contributed to the cause of emancipation or freeing of slaves were called "abolitionists."

The most famous of them all is John Brown who was hanged for seizing "the government arsenal at Harper's Ferry,Virginia, in the hope of igniting a general uprising of slaves" in 1859 (Blockson, 14). Native Americans such as the Ottawa Indians, Seminoles, and Shinnecocks also joined the movement to freedom. Of course, there were many African American themselves who persevered and risked persecution for this cause. Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas and William Still are just few of the African Americans who led the road to freedom. Other important people in American history who were Abolitionists include Thaddeus Stevens, Alan Pinkerton, Henry David Thoreau, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and William Lloyd Garrison. ""

"""Abolitionist Charles Sumner (1811-1874) was a Boston lawyer and later a U.S. senator. As a lawyer, he joined Robert Morris, the nation's second black attorney, to persuasively but unsuccessfully argue before the Massachusetts chief justice for integration of Boston public schools in 1849. As a senator, Sumner was a forceful anti-slavery advocate, introducing legislation that led to both the 13th Amendment, which officially abolished slavery, and the Freedmen's Bureau. ""
