Good morning, Scholars! Today, You are going to complete this assignment while I am participating in Professional Development.
I CAN: DESCRIBE THE START OF THE ABOLITION MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES.
FOCUS QUESTION: WOULD YOU EXPECT THE ANTI-SLAVERY MOVEMENT TO HAVE BEEN STRONGER IN THE NORTH OR THE SOUTH?
Yesterday, we had such a great discussion about the launching of the Reform Movement in the United States.
Today you are going to read about the start of the Abolition Movement in the United States. As slavery expanded in the South, some Americans fought to end slavery altogether. The abolitionists fought bravely to end the evil institution of slavery, but faced stiff resistance from many Americans.
Good luck on today's reading and follow-up questions. I'm proud of you! Mr. Bruning
