In this lesson, students learn of the different calls to end slavery by two community leaders—David Walker and William Lloyd Garrison. The slave narrative genre is explored in the works of Frederick Douglas (Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass) and Harriet Jacobs (Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl). Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the biggest selling book of the nineteenth century, is examined for its anti-slavery message, its idealization of motherhood, and its stereotypes of African Americans.
