Chapter 16 A1: A Slave Boy Learns a Lesson
Slaveholders often would want the slaves to know the Bible but not read it. If he learns to read the Bible, it will forever unfit him to be a slave. A slave should know nothing but the will of his master, and learn to obey it. Learning will do him no good, but a great deal of harm. If you teach him how to read, he'll want to know how to write, and this accomplished, he'll be running away with himself. Slaveholders were scared that they might justify their freedom by doing so.
Chapter 16 A2: A Former Slave Exposes Slavery
Although slaves were physically abused, slaveholders also mentally abused them. This is because as a slave, you may get separated from your family. In the law a slave has no wife,children, country, or home. He can own nothing, posses nothing, but what must belong to another. The system was most unjust when it came to the whip. Once a slave was blamed to do bad, slaveholders would “rely on the whip”.
Chapter 16 C1: William Lloyd Garrison Launches The Liberator (1831)
Since he did not like the idea of slavery in New England, he was determined, at every hazard, to lift up the standard of emancipation in the eyes of the nation, within sight of Bunker Hill and in the birth place of liberty. This is because he believed all men and women were created equal due to the Declaration of Independence.
Chapter 16 D2: Abraham Lincoln Appraises Abolitionism (1854)
No because Lincoln states that he has no prejudice against the Southern people. He also states that doubtless there are individuals in the North and South who would not hold slaves under any circumstances, and others who would gladly introduce slavery anew, if it were out of existence. Since the South supported slavery, some southerners may have opposed some of his opposition since he sides with giving slaves their freedom at one point.
