Topic 6 DQ 1 Grade 5/5 Instructor comments: Nice job - keep up the hard work as we head into the homestretch of the semester! Discuss the ideals and goals of the Abolition movement, including the key players and events. How did their Christian faith affect their views on the abolition of slavery? Did all Christians promote abolition? Explain. William Lloyd Garrison advocated and was the voice of the abolition movement and began the Liberator, a newspaper publishing antislavery. The main purpose of the abolition movement was to end slavery. This movement did bring together many advocates such as, Lyman Beecher, and Theodore Weld. Also, many of these people were evangelical preachers. Garrison also founded the American Anti-Slavery Society. This foundation helped many slaves escape like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman. Anthony Benezet protested many times on that people needed to stop going to buy the slaves. He stated that if you do not have the demand then there will be no trade. He also sought out to help people of color in education, because he knew that emancipation alone would not solve all their problems. During the colonial period many slaves had their own form of religion and many slave owner did not share their beliefs with the slaves in fear that if they became Christians they would have to be freed. So, if you were Christian than you could not live as a slave. Soon many of the slaves did form some parts of the Christian beliefs, but mainly in the hope that one day they would live in the glory with God. Later, there were still some Christians who did own slaves, but many did believe that it was a sin to own a slave. Although some Quakers held slaves, no religious group was more outspoken against slavery from the seventeenth century until slavery's demise (Douglass, Brown, Stowe, Reynolds, & Garrison, 1998) .
