APPARTS REFORM ERA

PROMPT

•To what extent did the reform movement of that spun off from the Second Great Awakening lead to a more just society?

CHARLES GRANDISON FINNEY

•Unless the will is free, man has no freedom; and if he has no freedom he is not a moral agent, that is, he is incapable of moral action and also of moral character.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON, SELF-RELIANCE

• “Men do what is called a good action, as some piece of courage or charity, much as they would pay a fine in expiation of daily non-appearance on parade. Their works are done as an apology or extenuation of their living in the world. I do not wish to expiate, but to live. My life is not an apology, but a life.”

HENRY DAVID THOREAU

• If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.

THE INFANT CHRISTIANBY MRS. C. V. R. HALE

• Elizabeth was only five years old. She may be called an infant Christian, judging from these three facts:-• First. She felt she was a sinner, and was sorry

with a godly sorrowing: that is, she repented of her sins. Second. She came to the Lord Jesus, and asked him to save her from her sins: in other words, she prayed in sincerity. And, third, she believed in him, and loved him. Thus she had repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON

• The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother.• Woman's discontent increases in exact proportion

to her development.

THE SECOND GREAT AWAKENING

FRED SANDERS

• "Preachers from numerous denominations arrived, set up pulpits in tree stands, and preached; sometimes as many as seven preachers at once addressing different crowds throughout the woods. There was a lot of fainting, swooning, shouting, and dancing as the days went by."

STUDY THE IMAGE WITHIN THE CIRCLE ON THE CERTIFICATE. EXPLAIN HOW THE DRAWING SUPPORTS THE LATIN PHRASE, “LUX IN TENEBRIS” (LIGHT TO DARKNESS).

WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON

•Wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or complexion.

A PRO SLAVERY LETTER BY S. TROTT NEWSPAPER ARTICLE

• Abolitionist, whether successful or not, is injurious to the slaves. It scatters discontent, and therefore unhappiness among them in their present state; it increases their insubordination, and thus subjects them to severer usage: should it free them from bondage, it would at the same time free their masters from the care of providing for them, and leave them an improvident class unprovided for, to suffer in rags and starvation, or under crime and its effects.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS

•Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.

DOROTHEA DIX

• "Man is not made better by being degraded; he is seldom restrained from crime by harsh measures, except the principle of fear predominates in his character; and then he is never made radically better for its influence."
