Process Paper
Hi we are Louis Platt and Jack Levy. We chose this topic, when we were looking through a list of events that had to do with rights in America during the Eighteen Hundreds. When we saw that the American Anti-Slavery Society had connections to Philadelphia, we thought this would be a great topic to take on. Plus we are studying about America post-slavery and how blacks were treated and slavery. This topic connects directly with what we studied in class because the American Anti-Slavery Society wanted to help blacks get the rights they needed.
We did most of our research online. We also got a lot of information from a few books and one or two primary resources. When we started researching about the American Anti-Slavery Society, we found out that they were closely connected to the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society. That led us to doing some research about them and learning their connections to rights and responsibilities. Through our research we learned that the American Anti-Slavery Society and Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society actually practically worked together to try and make black people’s lives better.
We chose to make a website because it was something neither of us have ever done before, but it seemed very exciting. When we thought about making a website, it didn’t seem very hard. But, when we starting designing the website it began to get a little difficult. One thing that we wanted to make sure we did right was the designing because we wanted to make sure people found it interesting to look at. As we were creating the website we had to compare ours to a couple of examples because we wanted to make it look good and interesting.
The American Anti-Slavery Society connects to rights and responsibilities in many different ways. It connects to rights by the society wanted to give colored people rights so they can have better lives. One of the responsibilities the American Anti-Slavery Society had was to get slavery abolished, so everyone can be equal. Getting slavery abolish was very important to the society. The society and other anti-slavery groups sent so many petitions to end slavery. That the Congress had to make a law, called the Gag rule, not allowing as many similar petitions to be sent to them over and over again. Other responsibilities the American Anti-Slavery Society and Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society took on were fundraising and holding meetings across the country to try and get more support.
