Description
In the 1800, people began to question the justice of slavery. Soon people who opposed slavery, better known as abolitionists, came forth to fight for slaves rights. There were many famous abolitionists that came to be from the Abolitionist Movement, but there are two that stand out. Frederick Douglass and John Brown are two important parts of the movement. Although they had the same goal, their way of reaching it was very different,Douglass fighting peacefully, and Brown fighting violently. I think that Douglas actions were the best way to support the abolitionist movement because he did not create tension that intended to harm.

Frederick Douglass Was Born Into Slavery,with an unknown date, his mom was a slave and his father, a white farmer. Over the course of his life he has only seen his mom a handful of times and saw his aunt more frequently instead. His last master was cruel, and seem to take joy in slaves suffering. His wife however, was more kind, and though state laws forbade it, she taught Douglas how to read and write. One day, his master has called in a slave breaker. When Douglass refused to follow his orders, the slave breaker took it upon himself to force his orders upon Douglass. Frederick Douglass defended himself, managing to slip from the slave breaker's grip and fleeing to the north. From there, he he spoke out against slavery and found a job as a speaker at many anti-slavery conventions. He managed to get his own abolitionist newspaper, called the North Star and even helped Harriet Tubman save fugitive slaves in the infamous Underground Railroad. To support his actions, he once quoted in his newspaper in 1847," the man who has SUFFERED THE WRONG is the man to DEMAND REDRESS,- that the man STRUCK is the man to CRY OUT- and that he who had ENDURED THE CRUEL RINGS OF SLAVERY is the man to ADVOCATE LIBERTY." This quote states that the things that prevents pro-slavery where once affected by slavery, and their ambition to stop pro-slavery is fueled by personal experience. He is saying this for other people, but I think he is referencing himself here in this quote as well.

John Brown was born into a religious anti-slavery family in 18000, where his father strongly opposed slavery. When he was 12, you saw a young sleep get brutally beaten with a shovel. In addition, to act to his personal experiences of pro-slavery, John Brown's good friend Elijah Lovejoy, was murdered for writing against slavery. In 1856, John Brown and his sons horribly murdered five pro-slavery men and became a hero in the North. He then in 1859, took 21 followers to capture Harper Ferry, his goal to arm near by local slaves in hope that they would rise and fight for their freedom. They did not however, and he was seized and charge for treason and murder. John Brown defending himself at his hanging with the quote,"I don't think the people of the slave states will ever consider the subject of slavery in its true light till some other argument is resorted to other than moral persuasion." This quote states that the South are ignorant, and refuse to see the damage that slavery is doing to African Americans.

I think that Frederick Douglass took the best action of course to end slavery and support the Abolitionist Movement because what Douglass did released more slaves in created less violence. On the contrary, Jon released pretty much no slaves, but he did add copious amount of tension between the feud of the south and north. John blindly went into things and expected them to turn out how he wanted, but he was executed because of these expectations . However , Douglass used his intelligence to calmly exert his ideas onto an audience. A quote from fredrick supports this claim that states,"A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it."

In conclusion, I think that Douglass should be rewarded with the best way of handling actions when it comes to the Abolitionist Movement. He thought things Stout and he wanted to regain peace and stay out of Confrontation. He lived a much longer life than John Brown because of this. Now, if you had the chance, would you take violent action and die young like brown, or take peaceful action with slow progress, and live to see the next day like Douglass?
