one of us history.

All right, you can see I'm coming to you.

Guys alive from class have been in a classic and

see them behind me.

This is gonna be an interactive video.

So you're gonna see my ugly mug on the screen

for, um, a little bit.

These little dots right here.

Actually, the information that pulling up for you, the abolitionist

movement is gonna be one of the six causes of

the Civil War.

And it's a very important cause because of things that

went on, the people that were involved and the effects

that it actually had on people and for the civil

words. So it's about 15 minutes trying to make him

a little bit shorter.

But it also kind of goes along with what we're

doing in class, and I'll post all of this too.

The canvas site.

So you guys will be able to see all the

information there as well, so we'll get right into it.

The first person it's gonna be Frederick Douglass Brighter governs

is gonna be born into slavery in Maryland.

He was a slave.

Um, there was a lot of people that may say

that you know, he wasn't but he was born in

the slavery and he escaped into Maryland and became a

free, basically a free person.

Frederick Douglass became a very educated man.

Friend of drugs is actually one of my favorite people.

Just because of where he came from, was able to

educate himself and then put himself to where he was

at. The point in that period of time is very

impressive, and he became a leader in the abolitionist movement,

probably one of the most famous leaders of the abolitionist

movement. And he spoke on behalf not only on the

rights of slavery but also on women's rights.

Interesting fact.

On Frederick Douglass.

He had such influence on people that he is the

first black American to receive a presidential vote to become

president of the United States.

A little fun fact, um, on that But friend, that

was gonna be someone that we're gonna here, and he's

gonna come up on occasion.

So I kind of look at him as the father

of the abolitionist movement.

And it's also Douglas with two s is So I

did a little typo, but to see you guys can

have an idea who he is second person that we're

going to look at in relation to the abolition movement's

gonna be Harriet Tubman.

Majority of you guys have probably heard of Harriet Tubman.

She was also like Frederick Douglass, born into slavery, and

she escaped to to the Free North prior to the

Civil War taking place after her escape, Harriet Tubman had

had a really good grasp of the geographical knowledge of

the South, especially where she came from.

And she was able to form what is referred to

as the underground Railroad.

Now, Donovan, where was not an actual railroad?

It wasn't.

Railroad tracks are people and, you know, shook him to

the North.

It wasn't anything like that.

It was a system of underground rails, underground tunnels, ditches,

pathways, things like that that helped slaves.

Once they were able to leave portions of the South

and get to the north.

Something's gonna be pretty much the constructor of that very

brave woman there in her time.

There are a lot of bounties put on her head.

So think about one of my favorite Siri's John Wick.

John Wick has a bounty put on his head of

$7 million so everybody in the city of New York

is looking for him.

It's the same thing with Harry.

It's up.

She has a bounty put on her head, and a

lot of people are looking for her, especially people that

are pro slavery because he's helping slaves escape.

And if they kill her, not only do they receive

a monetary reward, but they also get the satisfaction of

killing someone who is who was helping slaves escape.

So she's gonna be a very influential person.

And she's also gonna be well known for being a

spy. Her knowledge of the South and geographic.

The people is going to help the Union Army, and

they're gonna lean on her at times to give them

information that it become a spy for her.

Not only was Tub in a supporter of slate up

anti slavery, but she was also a very big advocate

for women's rights.

Being a strong woman, she believed that women should have

the same rights as men, so if she was also

a champion for women as well.

Nixon Abolition is Dredd.

Scott, it's got in my opinion, is probably one of

the most pivotal cases, especially in Supreme Court wise that

took place in the mid 18 hundreds.

I think if the Supreme Court had probably got in

this case right back then, civil rights would have taken

place a lot earlier, and it wouldn't push itself until

after the Civil War and then also into the 19

sixties, which we'll talk about later.

So Dress got is a slave in Missouri in the

context of this, when I rest a slave owner and

ownership and he belonged to someone and things like that

understand the context of it, because that's essentially what was

going on.

The dread Scott was a slave in Missouri.

He was owned by a surgeon named John Emerson.

You can see that up there on screen who was

station and Ellen Oil and always a free state.

So in the Army, he's stationed in Illinois for two

years, serving Army duty.

Dredd Scott goes with him in that period of time

dread. Scott essentially lives life as a free man since

Illinois Free State, Um, those about daily as a free

man he marries.

He becomes, you know, in businesses and economic, so he's

ingrained in everything that's right there in Illinois as a

free person when Emerson's duty um station changed and he

was no longer listen.

Illinois goes back to Missouri, will be in as he

owned Dread Scott because Scott was his slave.

He requested and demanded that Scott come back him to

Illinois. Scott refused.

So because of that, what Scott's gonna do is he's

gonna sue Anderson for his freedom.

Scott's gonna argue that he's a free man because he's

lived in Illinois as a free man for this period

time and have done all these free things, so he

should therefore get its freedom a decade.

11 years go by.

It goes through the different court systems.

Dress Guy eventually gets an audience with the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court decides that dread sky is considered to be

property. At that time, slaves were not considered to be

civilians. In other words, there were people, but they were

not considered civilian in America at that time.

So because he was not considered a civilian, he did.

There were no 13th 14th 15th Amendments, which will get

into later as well.

Because he was not a citizen, he was therefore considered

to be property because he was considered property, he was

property of Mr Emerson.

So Supreme Court ruled that slaves were property of the

people that owned them.

So he was forced to go back to Missouri.

So this was, Ah, groundbreaking case set a precedent for

what's gonna come in the Civil War later and next.

In the abolitionist movement, we have Harriet Beecher Stowe.

She writes Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Uncle Tom's cabin is a very good book.

If you've never read this, I would definitely say Take

the time to read it.

It's very influential.

It gives you a little bit of background in the

slavery and the way that people thought In the 18

hundreds. Now, Harriet Beecher Stowe did not grow up on

a plantation.

Her parents weren't slave owners.

She actually grew up in a free state, but she

grew up across from Kentucky, and Kentucky was a slave

states. What would happen is slaves would escape, and she

would meet them as a child.

There's a lot of buyer.

There's a lot of things that I'm Harriet Beecher Stowe

would say that she met these slaves as they were

escaping, and they would tell her their stories.

And in those stories she began to understand what slavery

was all about.

She began to understand what the plantations were about and

the whole idea of slavery.

So she writes Uncle Tom's Cabin and Uncle Tom's Cabin

Center is generally around.

A man named Tom and Tom is a Christian man

who is also a slave.

And the premise of the book is Time becomes really

good friends with one of the one of the owners

daughters he's traded, sold, moved around, starts a family.

And in the end, his faith basically sentences him to

death because some slaves escape.

And he refuses to give the slave owners the whereabouts

of where they are, so he basically sacrifices himself to

help other slaves escape.

So that's kind of the premise of Uncle Tom's Cabin

is a great book.

I would definitely say that it's recommended reading to understand,

um, exactly kind of more of a civilian mindset of

what slavery and the abolition movement was all about.

Next for abolition is Nate Term, and it's not Nate

Turner. It's actually Nat Turner, But I can always just

remember him his Nate Turner.

So I always spell it n a t e, but

it's actually Nat So if we're talking historical accuracy, it's

an 80 boat for Coach Smith is any t e?

Because it's just the easiest way for me to remember

his name.

Um, sometimes I do things like that just to help

you remember?

So, uh, Nate Turner is going to be a slave

that's gonna be in Virginia.

So this is pre Uncle Tom's cabin.

This is pretty dread.

Scott, this is a pretty one is gonna lead a

revolt in which other slaves are going to take up

arms. You can see the picture that's in there, and

you'll have more information on it later.

But he's gonna take up arms with, um, half a

dozen slaves or so and they're gonna kill 55 people.

Now, the vilified people that they kill are mostly white.

Um, there are some, you know, backgrounds and things like

that of the all white where they not away.

But the majority of them were white.

So what this does is it sets a precedent, and

what's gonna happen are white's gonna be scared.

Now they have to really think about the reality.

18. 31 of woe Are all of these slaves gonna

eventually rise up and try to kill us.

It sets a precedence in the minds of whites in

18 31.

And what they do is they clamp downs.

They make stricter laws.

They make you know, not laws that are on the

books in Congress.

But laws that are just in the South and introduced

with slavery and it becomes life becomes even harder for

slaves. Um, so but But Nate Turner's revoke was an

inspiration to a lot of people because it did show

slaves that there was hope.

But it also scared them literally scared the crap out

of white votes, especially slave owners, because they were always

suspicious of the idea that, you know the slaves can

revolt any time.

Next abolition is Sojourner Truth.

The truth is another one of my favorite people.

It's a very humble lady.

I mean, if you look at the picture of her,

she looks like she could be your grandma.

But I don't mistake her for looking soft because this

lady was she was a trooper.

She was a slave in New York as well.

She was an evangelist, and over seems like a preacher.

Ah, very religious Christian woman She was abolitionist.

He was woman's activists.

One of the things that set her apart was she

kept her beliefs and she kept her system and wits

about her, and she never turned violent.

She never turned into something where the white establishment could

look at her and say Yet, See, that's exactly how

someone you know in her, um, you know, in that

area should act.

She was very polite, but it was one of those

things where you don't stake her politeness for her being

weak. Um, one of the things that set her apart

and one of the most interesting facts about surgery truth.

She had a son that she actually lost.

And it was basically to, ah, a white slave owner,

and she soon to get her son back.

Now, this is a precedent because no one had ever

really suit a white person really over a slave before.

Especially a black woman suing a white man for property.

So she ends up winning her lawsuit, gets her son

back, and it sets a precedence again.

Do that.

Not only can former slaves used the system to help

benefit themselves, but they can also use the system to

set a precedent for everyone else.

So she's very important she's gonna be, You know, the

president president's gonna call her very influential.

So, Sir, General truth, you never heard of her.

She's definitely someone that you need to research and look

up. It was very influential in a very important person

in the abolitionist movement.

That's got me John Brown.

John Brown.

If you haven't noticed John Brown's white now, I point

that out because people in South were afraid.

Now, not only do they have to worry about a

Turner 2030 years before this, and now they gotta worry

about our white people turn on us, too.

John Brown is gonna lead a, um, assault on Harper's

Ferry, and this is gonna be located in Virginia.

And what's important about this is that Harper Sperry was

an arsenal for, um, basically for the South.

Now it was a federal arsenal, which means that the

Union Washington, D.

C. Owned it, but because it was located in the

south, the southern still like they felt like they own

it. So John Brown's gonna leader rain.

His goal was, was too great.

Harpers Ferry collect all the arms and there and then

give it to slave.

So that way they could start a mass revoked.

And that would help end slavery as well.

The raid failed.

John Brown hasn't really good ideas for it, but the

raid ended up failing.

He was captured.

He was hung.

And everyone around him, if they were called, was also

hard as well.

Very influential guy.

All right.

And then the last one is gonna be bleeding Kansas.

Now, this is not necessarily a person.

This is more an event.

But the Kansas Nebraska Act is going to overturn the

Missouri compromise, which is gonna draw that 36 30 line

between the States and leading Kansas is going to be

able to set a precedence that people should be able

to take care of their own cells.

The idea of what they call popular sovereignty and popular

sovereignty allows the citizens to take care of things on

their own.

Problem is, you have anti slavery and you have pro

slavery, and they can't get along.

So what do they dio and of fighting one another?

You have a basically a mini civil war, and this

is gonna be what they call bleeding Kansas.

But this is also going to be one of things

that's going to affect the Appalachian, its movement.

That's abolitionist movement in a nut show and 15 minutes

or less, the main people will update more info to

canvas. You guys have any questions?

Feel free to reach out.

Appreciate it.
