He describes the development of a militant abolitionist movement, the expansion of slavery, secession, and other events that led inexorably to the Civil War.

The Abolitionist Position: Black Abolitionists' Ideas Resource Type: Primary Source Black abolitionist Samuel E. Cornish (c. 1795–1858). Frederick Douglass (1817?/1818?–1895) Resource Type: Primary Source Born in Maryland to an enslaved African American woman with Native American ancestry, and fathered by an unknown white man, Douglass was sent back and forth several times from the plantation of his owner to Baltimore, where as a house slave he learned to read and write. As a young man Douglass conceived of several plans for escaping and, while working as a ship's caulker in Baltimore, finally made a successful bid for freedom, settling in New Bedford, Massachusetts. While attending an antislavery convention in Massachusetts in 1841, Douglass was asked to address the audience. This was the beginning of a long career as an antislavery orator and editor. The Secession Crisis Resource Type: Document-Based Question This selection of primary sources allows students to interpret the Civil War as an ideological battle, pitting abolitionists against slavery's apologists, and Northerners against Southerners. Students will understand why most of the Southern states chose secession over union. William Lloyd Garrison on Abolitionism Resource Type: Primary Source Before 1830 most abolitionists believed in the concept of colonization, but after that time, the abolitionist movement was transformed. Slavery a Positive Good Resource Type: Primary Source John C. Calhoun was vice president of the United States (1825-32) and U.S. senator from South Carolina for most of the period from 1832 to 1850. Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl Resource Type: Primary Source By 1858, the former slave Harriet Jacobs had finished her autobiography, which was later edited by the famous abolitionist, Lydia Maria Child. Frederick Douglass and his Mother Resource Type: Primary Source Frederick Douglass's autobiography is considered one of the classic slave narratives and was written for the abolitionist cause. Frederick Douglass Describes a Whipping Resource Type: Primary Source Radical abolitionists sought to document their claims about the horrors of slavery. Republican Party Platform of 1856 Resource Type: Primary Source While the Democrats endorsed popular sovereignty to decide the issue of slavery in the Territories, the Republicans took the stand put forth here. The Master-Slave Relationship Resource Type: Document-Based Question The recent scholarship on slavery explores the complex relationship between master and slave and re-examines the historical agency of slaves. In reading the slave narratives provided in this DBQ, students can assess how slaves tried to retain their dignity in the worst of circumstances.
