Literature as Resistance in the Anti-Slavery Movement

Different voice, one message: resistance of literature in anti-slavery movement "Pen is stronger than a sword" The struggle for liberation is not a struggle between the beginning and the end of a civil war. During slavery, African Americans rarely choose to leave their freedom. I can not believe that the law to enslave them will release them. For those who are lucky enough enough to be free, the only power they have in the fight against abolitionism is the power of words.

Abolition: To oppose slavery and eliminate it. Anti - slavery or abolition campaign established the American Anti - Slavery Association in Philadelphia in 1833, but the emotion of anti - slavery was done prior to the formation of the Republic (Congressional Library). After the American Civil War (1861-1865), Congress approved the thirteenth amendment of the US Constitution, which officially abolished slavery. Equal rights: Personal benefits and privileges not discriminated by law, tradition or nature, especially with regard to gender. The adoption of the 19th amendment is the first concrete written guarantee on equal rights of women in the Constitution. However, in response to the work that continues to perpetuate unequal treatment between men and women and many laws and practices in society, Alice Paul introduced the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in 1923.

Two big social movements in the early 19th century ended slavery and tried to ensure equal rights of women. Gritty Smith and Susan B. Anthony formed two moves. Anti-slavery movement has evolved from a peaceful origin of the American Revolutionary War into a civil war and a war between nations, effectively ending slavery and seriously weakening the women's rights movement. By voting, bullets and petitions to win civil, political and military competition, the abolitionists decided to adopt slavery fate and the thirteenth revision of 1865. To pursue my own rights, women have adopted a more peaceful strategy, but have suffered a long delay. Only in 1920, women voted for their political tool library.
