Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Relate that abolitionism or antislavery embodied two movements: first, a smaller, quieter, and more dramatic movement of blacks escaping slavery in the South before the American Revolution with the help of whites and free blacks.
2. Relate that the other antislavery movement included northern whites and blacks forming official organizations over time to prevent slavery.
3. Explain that the second antislavery movement included many more whites and was started by Quakers in the 1730s who relinquished their slave holding past.
4. Conclude that the second antislavery movement was rooted in the First and Second Great Awakenings' emphasis on Christian values reforming sinners and eradicating moral problems in America.

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define the major slave rebellions of the era: Gabriel, Vesey, Turner. Gabriel (1800) conspired to attack whites in Richmond while Vesey (1822) did so in Charleston, South Carolina. Turner and his rebels killed dozens of whites in Virginia in 1831.
2. Explain the role of religion as an ideology and recruitment tool justifying violence against whites and protecting blacks from harm during conspiracies.
3. Differentiate among the role of religion in the three rebellions: Tuner thought he was carrying out God's directions. Vesey was a free black enticing slaves to revolt and using religion as a tool of recruitment. Gabriel felt divinely justified to burn Richmond.
