Men battled each other in the streets in ethnic and religious conflicts, gangs of party henchmen rioted at the ballot box, and assault and murder were common enough as to seem unremarkable. The president who presided over the era, Andrew Jackson, was himself a duelist and carried lead in his body from previous gunfights. The principal targets of mob violence were abolitionists and black citizens, who had begun to question the foundation of the U.S. economy -- chattel slavery -- and demand an end to it. Led by figures like William Lloyd Garrison and James Forten, the anti-slavery movement grew from a small band of committed activists to a growing social force that attracted new followers in the hundreds, and enemies in the thousands... J.D. Dickey reveals the stories of these Black and white men and women persevered against such threats to demand that all citizens be given the chance for freedom and liberty embodied in the Declaration of Independence."-- $c provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Antislavery movements $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Political violence $z United States $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1815-1861. 941 $a 4 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710060138.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230418011043.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013748.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220514010837.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=909E7BA29EAD11EC94A6D5D756ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
