Post reading
Work in groups. Give a talk about the significance of abolishing slavery in the US.
1. Organise your ideas by answering the questions.
What was the US like before slavery was abolished
How was it different afterwards
In what ways did the abolition of slavery help to break boundaries
1. The US was divided into states in the North that prohibited slavery, and states in the South which allowed slavery and depended upon slavery economically. Slavery was a very cruel institution, and caused great human suffering in the states that permitted it. Reliance on slavery also made the South less technologically advanced than the North.
2. Slaves were freed and were regarded as equal under the law, at least in theory. In practice, black Americans continued to suffer great discrimination in the South for the next hundred years, until the birth of the modern civil rights movement in the 1960s. The legacy of slavery continues to affect race relations in the US today.
3. The abolition of slavery made former slaves and their former masters equal before the law. This was the first step towards true equality.
