Read Slavery and Abolitionist Movement (1790-1860). A strong paper will be inclusive of multiple ideas and perspectives.
Read sources on abolition and anti-slavery (from Proquest–the link is in the Course Materials tab) and compose a 4-5 page (double-spaced) analysis of the text. In your paper you should: identify the author and the context (time, place) where they lived and the circumstances of their life, explain the major details of the sections read/covered, explain what insights related to their identity they offer. How did either the author of the abolitionist/anti-slavery text or Walker understand themselves in the context of American slavery? What does their first-person perspective reveal about race in the United States during the period of slavery? Be sure to include judicious details and evidence directly from the text.
