AN EXAMINATION OF ANTISLAVERY MOVEMENTS
2
According to Elkins (2013), anti-slave movements, which are
also known as
abolitionist movements, were social movements whose aims were
to end slavery in the United
States. They were historical movements that were championed
by the desire to set African and
Indian slaves free as well as end slave trade. Center Tilly
& Wood (2015) state that anti-slave
movements were fueled by the religious fervor of the Second
Great Awakening, which made the
cause for emancipation majorly on religious grounds.
I have chosen the movement for its hosts the most severe
violations of human
rights ever observed in the history of humanity. The tenets
of slavery violated the most basic
principles protected by human rights. Another reason for
choosing the movement is guided by
the motivation to learn about the aspects that positioned the
slaves under the rule and oppression
of their master. I would like to know of the characteristics
that placed them as inferior to their
masters.
From information gathered from secondary sources such as
history books, I am aware
that anti-slavery movements were a response to the extremely
oppressing and demeaning nature
under which slavery and slave trade were conducted. I am also
mindful of the fact that antislavery movements were radical
movements that did not hesitate to use brute force in advancing
their interests. The whole process was however marred by
antagonism and violence, which each
divide was reluctant on settling for less (Tindall & Shi,
2016).
I hope to learn the role that abolitionist movements played
in ending slavery in the
United States. I would also like to learn the relationship
that existed between abolitionists and
slaves. Other than that, I would also like to learn of
persons who were the major contributors and
opponents to abolitionist movements as well as if slavery is
till existent in the 21st century.
