Slavery was the American South's way of getting free labour and increasing their economy easily. It all began as a vicious cycle-- slaves would be picked up from Africa, mostly the Atlantic coast, and then brought to the Caribbean. In the Caribbean, they would use harvest the sugar cane, the sugar cane would then be brought the the American South, where it alcohol would be produced, and the alcohol would be then sold to the unsuspecting Africans. The exploitation of another person due to race, ethnicity or religion is always controversial, but it unfortunately happens.
Frederick Douglas, an escaped slave in 1838 worked in Massachusetts and later lectured about the evils of slavery. After getting a controversial image in the US, he moved to England and bought his won freedom. Was named the US minister to Haiti in 1889—he was a leader in the abolitionist movement. The drive for abolition neglected major problems—the economic upheaval and displacement. The South feared abolition would remove their labour force and hurt the economy. Blacks worried that their income would go down and they wouldn’t be able to support their families.
In 1817, in an effort to rid America of all slaves, the American Colonization Society was formed. Liberia was purchased in 1822, and the plan was to send all black slaves there. Plantation owners, however, did not was to give up their property for no compensation. Only 1400 free blacks were eventually sent by 1830.
In 1840 and 1844, presidential candidates from the Liberty Party appeared. They believes that political change was needed to end slavery, and immediately. In 1848, the Free Soil party replaced the Liberty Party, it was simply more practical—they just wanted to end slavery expansion. They were, probably, racists, not abolitionists.
A secret network of the 1840s, blacks and whites created a chain of stations along routes to the north or Canada. Harriet Tubman was one of the leaders. She was an escaped slave, and $40, 000 was offered as a reward by several plantation owners. The abolitions movement gained momentum in 1852: Harriet Beacher Stowe publishes Uncle Tom’s Cabin, an anti-slavery novel. It is very effective, and used in years to come.
