They disagreed over the tactics for attaining abolition as well as the range of demands that should be included in their literature. For instance, Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison argued over tactics. Garrison believed that non-violent protest, in the form of speeches, news publications, and demonstrations, was the key to achieving abolition. By contrast, Douglass admired John Brown for his take-no-prisoners attitude. And what about other inequities in American society? Sojourner Truth, an African American abolitionist who happened to be a woman, was joined by a phalanx of women reformers who felt that women's rights should be recognized in this struggle as well.

Extractions: by Jennifer Erbach Objectives Students will examine the issue of Cherokee removal from the perspectives of Andrew Jackson, members of Congress, and members of the Cherokee nation. Students will adopt one of the perspectives and engage in debate with their classmates over the issue of Cherokee removal. Day 1 Introduction It is 1830. The population of U.S. citizens in Georgia is growing rapidly and pushing into the western portions of the state. However, the Cherokee nation occupies a large area of western Georgia. Treaties signed between the United States and the Cherokees guaranteed them the rights to this land, but settlers have begun to move into these territories, sparking conflicts with the Cherokees that were growing violent. The discovery of gold within the Cherokee territory in 1828 has only made the situation worse. At the urging of President Andrew Jackson, the Committee on Indian Affairs drafted a bill that would give the President the power to order the removal of all Native Americans living east of the Mississippi River to designated lands west of the Mississippi. Part I Divide the class into four groups. Each group will examine documents and gather information on their viewpoint's arguments and position on the question of removing the Cherokees.
