Question 5 • United States History and Geography

What is an example of how the abolitionist movement began to grow in the 1830s? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
Petitions demanded that Congress end slavery.
B
The American Anti-Slavery Society was founded.
C
Southern states reduced the use of slave labor.
D
Most Southern politicians argued to end slavery.
E
Anti-slavery publications were produced.

Explanation

Abolitionists used printed materials to spread arguments against slavery, so anti-slavery publications were produced. They also sent petitions to Congress demanding an end to slavery, and abolitionists founded the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1833. Southern states continued to rely heavily on enslaved labor, and most Southern politicians defended slavery rather than calling for its end.
