“The slave traders, they knew that these were human beings, because they were obviously, clearly human beings. At the same time, they were

objects of profit. And those two concepts couldn't coexist. The sense of humanity was simply suppressed

for the sake of gold. And the shocking thing is that human beings are able to suppress their views on

humanity for the sake of making profits.”

support for the abolishment of slavery grew.

• Abolisionists like Frederick Douglas and John Brown accumulated support to end slavery in the US.

• The final push came from Pres. Abraham Lincoln who declared Kansas a non-slave state.

• This made the South angry.

The Fighting Begins…and Ends• With the South wanting to

keep slavery, and the North (including the Federal Gov) wanting abolish slavery, the South openly starts to break federal laws.

• The North starts to send troops to keep order in the South which ignites war between the two regions. The first “shots” are fired at Fort Sumter in SC.

• After 4 years of fighting, the war ends with the North victorious.
