![Page 8: Slavery in the United States. Learning Targets I can trace the development of the slave system in the United States. I can evaluate resistance and opposition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649caf5503460f949734ba/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Antebellum South
• Border States: Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri
• Middle South: Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas
• Deep South/Lower South: South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas
In general, the farther south, the greater the dependence on slavery.

The Antebellum South
• Why, if there are relatively few slave holders, is the South so committed to slavery?– Controlled by the Planter Aristocracy• Less education in the South• Huge gap between the wealthy and the rest
– The more nuanced answer• Aspirations of underclasses• Interdependence of classes

The Peculiar Institution
Over time, the South becomes more culturally isolated and more defensive of slavery. • From necessary evil to its “peculiar institution”
– Haitian Revolt– American Revolution– Most countries, including B & F, illegalized slavery– Emergence of Abolition
• Defense of slavery– Historical arguments– Biblical arguments– “Scientific” arguments– Economic arguments

Opposition and Resistance
• Among slaves– Developed unique African-American culture– Resistance was most often subtle
• Revolts– Stono Rebellion (1739): SC, 21w, 44b– Denmark Vesey (1822): SC, planned an uprising,
ratted out, he and 30 others hanged– Nat Turner’s Revolt (1831): Virginia, 60 whites
killed

The Growth of Abolition
• First among Quakers during Revolutionary Era• American Colonization Society (1817)– Liberia 1822; 15,000 over 40 years
• William Lloyd Garrison, The Liberator (1831)• Fredrick Douglas, Narrative (1845)• NOT a majority movement

So what does happen in the North?
• Slavery illegalized, but northerners are still racist
• Belief that slavery might compete with free labor
• Northerners resent Southern power– Virginia Dynasty– 3/5ths Compromise
• Northerners fear spread of slavery, especially after Mexican Cession
