Black Seminole Uprising
The main thing about this uprising was to free blacks, fugitive slaves and seminole indians. This lasted almost a whole year. The slaves ended up winning when moving to Oklahoma but then later ended up having to move to Mexico. This was known as the only successful uprising. The uprising was the largest slave haven. There were 385 slaves that ran way from there plantations to fight for there freedom. -
Amistad
The Amistad was a slave ship that transported from Sieraa Leone to Cuba. After that they would go to America. Slave trade, at that time, was outlawed in the Untied States. At one point, the slaves rose up and took over the ship . Once they took over, they steered towards the United Stated were a court case was to decide there faith. -
Creole Case
The Creole Case was about a ship that had 135 slaves on it. During this time, international slave trade was illegal but not slave trade within colonies. The slaves over took there captin of the ship. When the did this they sharted sailing to Nassau, Bahamas and Great Britain controlled the Bahamas, and slavery was illegal. The United States outraged that Great Britain could be free Untied States property. -
John Brown
John Brown was a man of action, a man that didnt care what anyone tried telling him about slavery, it was going to come to an end. This was known as the Raid of the Harper Ferry. There were eighteen men involved. John was a white abolitionist. He was trying to start a slave revolt. He was quickley defeated in his line of trying. -
14th Amendment
This was a citizenship clause meaning that blacks can now be citizens of the U.S. and due to the progress of the clause, it prohibats state and local governments from depriving people of life, liberty, or property. It had the equal proection clause meaning this requires each state to provide equal protection under the law of all people within its jurisdiction. Everyone was now equal. -
Montgomery Bus Boycott
This all started because of a Afican American lady, Rosa Parks, not wanting to give up her seat on the bus. She was arrested for not wanting to give up her seat to a white person. This was lead by Martin Luther King Jr. This event was a non-violent event and also lasted over a year. Afican Americans no longer road the buses after that, they arranged carpools and/ or walked. -
Sit-ins
This all started when four black students from North Carolina AT&T collage sat at a Woodworth lunch counter. This act was non- violent. It had to do with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee or (SNCC). Afican American students basically sat down at a lunch counter to be served food and whites would crowd around them and throw stuff at them for not moving out of there spots. -
Freedom Riders
This was a group of thirteen Afican Americans. It turned into a group of Afican American and white collage students who rode into the south to end segergation on the interstate bustravel. They were all attacked by an angery white mob(s) in Alabama. After this freedom ride, there were several groups that did the same thing. The Afican Americans tried using the whites restrooms, and doing all the stuff the whites would do. -
Creole Case #2
I think that the Creole Case was a big help in ending slavery considering it was the biggest slavery case in the U.S. The ship had 135 slave prisnors on it and this case saved all of them. -
John Brown #2
I belive that John Borwn had a lot to do with this slavery case because he stuck to his word and wasnt giving up. It was all over within less than 36 hours. Brown lead a gruop of 18 men, a cople died, but he never gave up and faught for what he believed in, and thats why I think this helped alot. -
Black Seminole #2
I feel like the balck seminole really helped the Indians out. It made them free to live where ever they wanted. Today they live in the rural communities of Oklahoma. Afican Americans are now free to go and live wherever because of the Black Seminole. -
Amistad #2
I do believe that Amistad helped out alot in making slaves free because everyone got to see the two sides to the story, the slaves side and the slave holders side. I dont think we should have ever had slaves, that just makes us white people look lazy. I would rather work for my money. -
Freedom Riders #2
Whites and blacks coming together and going on rides to do stuff together helped alot. People seeing them being together probably didnt know what to think. I think this helped the slavery end because they came together as friends and rode together. -
14th Amendment #2
An amendment is something that is a law and you stand by it, therefore once this became a law, everyone had to follow it. I do think that this probably helped out more than any of them. This law gave full rights to the blacks, and thats how it should be. The whites and blacks were now equal after this law was made. -
Montgomery Bus Boycott #2
I think this helped alot because Rosa wasnt scared to stand up for herself. She was not moving from her seat until she got arrested. Then blacks stopped riding the bus, it caused them to lose money. Then marches started and thats what got everyone going. -
Sit-Ins #2
I think that the Afican Americans that took this step are very brave and love there color. They didnt care what people thought and said, they did what they wanted just like the whites. Standing up for themselves take alot and did alot.
