Enslaved African Americans resisted slavery in various ways in the 19th century. The abolitionist movement also worked to raise awareness of and generate resistance to the institution of slavery. Students will examine ways in which enslaved Africans organized and resisted their conditions. Students will explore the efforts of William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Tubman to abolish slavery. Students will examine the effects of Uncle Tom's Cabin on the public perception of slavery. Students will investigate New York State and its role in the abolition movement, including the locations of Underground Railroad stations. Students will examine the seizure of the ship, La Amistad, carrying enslaved Africans, off the coast of Long Island and the resulting Supreme Court decision in United States v. The Amistad (1841).
Women joined the movements for abolition and temperance and organized to advocate for women's property rights, fair wages, education, and political equality. Students will examine the efforts of women to acquire more rights. These women include Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Susan B. Anthony. Students will explain the significance of the Seneca Falls Convention and the Declaration of Sentiments.
