Sometimes they propped up their activism by appealing to things like the Bible. One woman I remember said something like, I read my Bible, and I know what it tells me. And she was opposing the minister in her church and she was a very active abolitionist.
Yet even if abolitionism still did not personally affect most Americans, it made an increasing number of people question whether they wanted slavery to continue.
Next week on our program, we will tell about the short presidency of William Henry Harrison. And we will continue talking about how slavery influenced presidents and politics over the coming years.
Im Steve Ember, inviting you to join us next time for The Making of a Nation American history from Learning English.
