By 1840, there were more than five hundred abolitionist groups in America, including as members statesmen like Washington and Jefferson and poets like Whitman and Lowell. But it wasn’t until 1852, when Harriet Beecher Stowe published Uncle Tom’s Cabin, that the conscience of the nation was stung. This unit examines the history of the abolitionist movement, its leaders and its railroad, with a special look at that landmark novel. The DVD includes a printable teacher guide featuring reproducible handouts, activities, exercises, vocabulary words, and other related materials. Recommended for grades 4-10. 12 minutes.
