In this section worth 30 points, you will answer TWO questions about attitudes on race, class, and gender in the antebellum period. 1. Abolitionists were radical political activists who wanted to stop the spread of slavery as well as dismantle the institution where it already existed. To expand their power and influence, abolitionists organized anti-slavery societies, printed their own newspapers, published the accounts of fugitive slaves who escaped enslavement, aided and financed conductors of the underground railroad, and delivered lectures on speaking tours through northern states and several European countries. Most abolitionists were also educated white men of privilege who possessed a spirit of moral superiority due to their anti-slavery views. Did the staunch anti-slavery positions of these white men translate into a passion for social and political equality for the formerly enslaved? What anti-slavery arguments, if any, had nothing to do with it being immoral and inhumane? 2. The supporters of the Republican Party—unlike the Democratic Party or the Whig Party—all lived in northern states. While Republicans did not advocate the abolition of slavery in the South, one anti-slavery plank of their platform opposed the admission of new slave states to the Union. Did this position of the Republican Party, and the free status of many states in the North, mean that Free Blacks living in the North faced hardly any discrimination in terms of political, economic, and social equality? What are some examples, if any, of northern states passing laws that limited the rights of African Americans?
