Ronald Lashley Period 8

Outline
Introduction Essay: Social Protest is when a group of people with the same belie
fs are against another group of people and their beliefs so they act on it or be
gin a protest against them. These protests were shown before the civil war again
st slavery through escapes, self-mutilation, sabotage, activism, revolts, social
revolutions or work slowdowns.
Social Protest helps people to express people feelings in thoughts through viole
nt and non violent ways. Examples of these protest in the time of the civil war
was Bleeding Kansas. A few other ones was the underground railroad, fugitive sla
ve law, ignoring the fugitive slave law, and Confederate states. The two sides u
sually in the time of the civil war was the confederate and union also known as
the south (confederate) and north (union).
Some of the social protest that I researched was violent and others was non viol
ent. The violent protest are positive from one end but as time goes on it still
hurts them like it did with the blockade. Some of these social protest could see
m helpful but as shown it can have a negative impact.　
　
　
　
　
　
　
　
　
Art Piece #1 Bleeding KansasThis painting of Bleeding Kansas, which was when a p
ro-slavery mob destroyed homes stores, and an anti-slavery newspaper office in L
awrence, Kansas. It looks like people shooting and killing each other and burnin
g the house on the left of the painting.
It protests the people against slavery from voting on the issue of the Kansas-Ne
braska Act and Missouri compromise. I know this because they only went after the
antislavery people and newspaper office, which would keep them from voting and
getting news around by the newspaper office being destroyed.
It is an effective protest because it stopped some antislavery people from votin
g. It is not an effective protest because by stopping those people from voting t
heir opinion would not be heard or supported.

Art Piece #2 Underground Railroad

It looks like people being walked through the Underground Railroad. I can see it
is the underground railroad because it says underground railroad and the people
are coming from the house
It protests slavery by having the slaves run away. I know this because a protest
is slaves running away and the underground railroad was a form and way that sla
ves ran away
It is an effective protest because the slaves became free by going north. It is
not an effective protest because some people would get caught in the north and s
ent back

Art Piece #3 Fugitive Slave LawIt looks like slaves are being spotted when they
are about to run away so they would be sent back sense they are spotted. The fug
itive slave law makes the slaves feel like they are always being watched.
It protests slaves running away. I know this because the fugitive slave law make
s it so that slaves are sent back to there plantation after running away.
It is an effective protest because it keeps slaves from running away and if they
did, they are sent back to the plantation. It is not an effective protest becau
se the people in the north are against slavery so they would not turn the slave
in to be sent back.

Art Piece #4 ignoring the fugitive slave lawDescribe (Be very detailed, try to i
dentify the various components that make up the piece® it sounds like…, it looks
like…,)
It protests the fugitive slave law. I know this because the people in the north
are against slavery so they would not turn the slave in to be sent back.
It is an effective protest because it made former slaves free since they are in
a free state now.
Quotes from sources, name of source quote is coming fromArt Piece #5 Gettysburg
address
This looks like Abraham Lincoln is giving a speech to a group of people.
It protests the antislavery group by Abraham Lincoln giving the Union hope and s
upport to help fight. I know this because the Gettysburg address gave the Union
more hope that they were going to win the war.
It is an effective protest because it helps the soldiers of the Union get throug
h the war knowing they have support.

Art Piece #6 BlockadeThis shows a block of all water ways to the southern states
It protests the south getting new goods such as weapons for the war. I know beca
use water was the way goods was moved from one place to another
It is an effective protest because it gave the north/ union an advantage since t
hey cause get goods and the south couldn‘t. It is not an effective protest becau
se it shuts down the Louisiana, New Orleans port.

ise kept slavery under 36 30’ N latitude
It is an effective protest because kept slavery from expanding west and north/ i
t is not an effective protest because it was over turned by the Kansas Nebraska
Act of 1854.
