German unification was the process of territorial unification that led to the emergence of Germany as a nation-state during the second half of the 19th century. This process was led by the Kingdom of Prussia, which, at that time, was led by King William I and Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck.
This territorial unification resulted from the modernization of the Prussian economy and industrialization - which was the richest in the German Confederation -, as well as the modernization of the Prussian army. Ultimately, this process was only possible with the confrontation of neighboring nations, which allowed the Prussians to conquer and annex the territories that would form today's Germany.
Black and white abolitionists in the first half of the nineteenth century waged a biracial assault against slavery. Their efforts proved to be extremely effective. Abolitionists focused attention on slavery and made it difficult to ignore. They heightened the rift that had threatened to destroy the unity of the nation even as early as the Constitutional Convention.
Although some Quakers were slaveholders, members of that religious group were among the earliest to protest the African slave trade, the perpetual bondage of its captives, and the practice of separating enslaved family members by sale to different masters.
As the nineteenth century progressed, many abolitionists united to form numerous antislavery societies. These groups sent petitions with thousands of signatures to Congress, held abolition meetings and conferences, boycotted products made with slave labor, printed mountains of literature, and gave innumerable speeches for their cause. Individual abolitionists sometimes advocated violent means for bringing slavery to an end.
Although black and white abolitionists often worked together, by the 1840s they differed in philosophy and method. While many white abolitionists focused only on slavery, black Americans tended to couple anti-slavery activities with demands for racial equality and justice.
Answer:
Ramón Emeterio Betances.
Explanation:
Ramón Emeterio Betances fue un médico y político puertorriqueño, luchador por la independencia de Puerto Rico y uno de los principales organizadores de la revolución del Grito de Lares.
Fue un partidario constante de la abolición de la esclavitud, llevando a cabo diversas actividades con dicho fin. Por sus actividades, finalmente fue expulsado de Puerto Rico por las autoridades coloniales españolas y se dirigió primero a República Dominicana, luego a Nueva York, donde, junto con Segundo Ruiz Belvis, fundó el Comité Revolucionario de Puerto Rico. Luego Betanses y Belvis regresaron a República Dominicana, donde iniciaron los preparativos para una intervención armada en Puerto Rico con el objetivo de derrocar al gobierno español y crear células secretas de sus partidarios en el mismo Puerto Rico; estas acciones finalmente llevaron a la derrota de los insurgentes en la revolución del Grito de Lares. Luego de estos hechos, Betanses partió hacia París, donde continuó abogando por la independencia de Puerto Rico, siendo condecorado con la Orden de la Legión de Honor por sus artículos. Murió en Francia; en 1920, sus restos fueron enterrados nuevamente en San Juan.
