Frederick Douglass 1. Born a slave, taught myself to
read and write. 2. I escaped in 1838. 3. I am a member of the
Massachusetts Antislavery Society and have traveled to speak to abolitionist meetings. I have also been the editor of an antislavery newspaper called the “North Star.”
I returned to the U.S. because I believe slavery must be fought at it’s source.
Frederick Douglass 5. “your celebration is a sham…your
national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless…your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery.”
Dred Scott Case When his owner died, filed a lawsuit
that claimed since he had lived in a free territory, he was a free man.
Supreme Court ruled that Scott could not file a lawsuit because he was not a citizen.
Stated that slaves were property. Ruled that Congress did not have the
power to outlaw slavery in any territory.
John Brown Murdered 5 proslavery settlers in
Kansas Harpers Ferry-took over a federal
arsenal, hoped for a slave uprising. Became a martyr for abolitionists.
Election of 1860 Views on Slavery
Lincoln-against slavery morally, against having slavery in the territories, did not want to interfere with slavery in the slave states.
Douglas-let people in the territories decide.

Lincoln won, even though his name was not on the ballot in 10 states.
