How did the racism and violence of the 1830s and 1840s affect the antislavery movement?

The racism and violence of the 1830s and 1840s galvanized the antislavery movement by highlighting the brutal realities of slavery and the moral imperative to fight against it. Incidents such as violent mob actions against abolitionists and the brutal treatment of enslaved people fueled public outcry and increased support for abolitionist causes. Prominent figures like Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison used these events to draw attention to the injustices of slavery, while the violent backlash against abolitionists underscored the urgent need for social and political change. Ultimately, this climate of racism and violence energized the movement, drawing in a broader coalition of supporters committed to ending slavery.

While America experienced various forms of protest against taxation, such as the Boston Tea Party, there was no direct equivalent to the widespread mob violence against tax collectors seen in Britain. Instead, American protests tended to focus more on organized resistance and civil disobedience rather than outright violence against officials.
