7. Some historians say that attacks by abolitionists actually strengthened sectionalism in the south instead of weakening it. How might the abolitionists have been contributing to the tension arising over slavery? Provide two specific examples of the southern response to the abolitionist attacks.
*Some* Examples:
(Pick two that you want for the essay)
Religious and political leaders started speaking out more and more in its favor.
Ministers claimed that the Bible justified slavery.
Political leaders said that slavery was necessary.
John C. Calhoun went far as to say that slavery was a “positive good.”

Opposition to Slavery
The Vesey and Turner revolts had another effect on South Carolina. Most southern whites who criticized slavery in the past no longer did so. Their views were no longer acceptable to the vast majority of South Carolinians and other southerners. Not all South Carolinians favored slavery, but after the Vesey plot, those opposed to slavery either left the state or kept silent.
In earlier years, both the Methodists and the Quakers had opposed slavery. The small group of Quakers in South Carolina left the state in protest. The Methodist church, at first, would not allow slave owners to join the church. But as slavery grew in importance, the church had to change its policy to attract members. Methodist ministers were forced by public opinion to either change their views about slavery or keep quiet.
Two noted abolitionists, those people who wanted to abolish or end slavery, who left the state were Angelina and Sarah Grimke of Charleston. The Grimke sisters were from a prominent, aristocratic Charleston family who owned slaves. The Grimkes moved north where their views were more acceptable. The two sisters became outspoken antislavery leaders and lectured widely in the North for abolitionist groups. When northerners began attacking slavery, South Carolinians and other southerners started defending it. Religious and political leaders started speaking out more and more in its favor. Ministers claimed that the Bible justified slavery. Political leaders said that slavery was necessary. John C. Calhoun went so far as to say that slavery was a “positive good.” Abolitionist literature printed in the North was kept out of South Carolina by postal workers, and books like Uncle Tom’s Cabin were condemned as false. Some people even tried to keep such books out of the state. The culture of South Carolina became one in which a certain set of beliefs was held onto tightly. Anyone who disagreed with those beliefs was an outsider.

1. The Northern and Southern responses to the Fugitive Slave Law deepened fear and anger between the North and the South. The Fugitive Slave Law required citizens to assist in the capture and return of runaway slaves, even if they were in free states. In the North, many individuals opposed this law and formed groups to assist escaped slaves in their journey to freedom in Canada. This resistance to the Fugitive Slave Law angered the South, as they believed it threatened the institution of slavery. The deepening divide between the North and the South over the Fugitive Slave Law contributed to the tensions that eventually led to the Civil War.
2. The result of the Compromise of 1850 that did not benefit the North was the Fugitive Slave Law. The Fugitive Slave Law enforced the capture and return of runaway slaves, even if they were in free states. This law angered many Northerners who opposed slavery, as they were now required to cooperate in the capture and return of slaves. The Fugitive Slave Law further deepened the divide between the North and the South, as it forced Northerners to support and participate in the enforcement of slavery.
3. The reform movement that affected South Carolina the least during the 1800s was the equal rights movement. Unlike other reform movements, such as prison reform, mental health reform, and education reform, the equal rights movement did not gain significant traction in South Carolina during this time period. South Carolina was predominantly a slave-holding state and had a deeply ingrained system of racial inequality. The focus of the state was not on expanding rights and opportunities for all individuals, but rather on maintaining and defending the institution of slavery.
4. Factories in South Carolina during the 1800s focused on producing textiles and pottery. South Carolina had a favorable climate and access to raw materials such as cotton, which made it an ideal location for textile production. Textile factories, particularly those producing cotton textiles, became a major industry in the state. Additionally, South Carolina was known for its production of pottery, including stoneware and earthenware. These products were in demand both within the state and for export.
5. The Mexican-American War had several effects. First, it increased tensions between the North and the South over the issue of slavery. The territories gained from the war, such as California and New Mexico, raised questions about whether they would be admitted as free or slave states, deepening the divide between the North and the South. Second, the war served as a training ground for many generals who would later be involved in the Civil War. The experience gained during the Mexican-American War would prove valuable in the coming conflict.
6. Railroads had a significant impact on Carolina's society and economy. They made it easier for goods to reach the marketplace. Prior to the construction of railroads, transportation was primarily done by waterways, such as rivers and canals. Railroads revolutionized transportation by providing a faster and more efficient means of moving goods. This made it easier for Carolina's products, such as textiles and pottery, to be transported to other states and markets. Additionally, railroads increased connectivity and accessibility, allowing for the growth of industry and commerce within the state.
7. Abolitionists contributed to the tension arising over slavery in the South in several ways. Firstly, their attacks on slavery and their promotion of equality and freedom for all people challenged the deeply entrenched beliefs and economic interests of the Southern society. This led to a defensive response from religious and political leaders who started speaking out more in favor of slavery. They justified slavery by claiming that it was supported by the Bible and deemed it a necessary institution.
Additionally, abolitionist literature was condemned and kept out of South Carolina by postal workers. Books like Uncle Tom's Cabin, which depicted the harsh realities of slavery, were denounced as false. The culture of South Carolina became one in which opposing abolitionist beliefs was seen as integral to their identity. This defensive response and the strengthening of pro-slavery sentiment further deepened the sectionalism in the South and solidified support for the institution of slavery.
