Answer 1

I don't know most of these but I do know three.

Election of Lincoln in 1860 - Anti- Slavery

Later on, Lincoln would set the slaves in most states of America free of slavery. Therefore it was an anti slavery movement.

Underground Railroad - Anti- Slavery

The Underground Railroad was an event where mostly white people and a couple of blacks helped slaves escape through tunnels underground. They called this the Underground Railroad.

Uncle Tom's Cabin - Anti- Slavery

Uncle Tom, the main character that the book revolves around, is a black man. At that time, a majority of slaves, especially men, were anti- slavery.
