Genre: Gonzo
An international cast shows why anal is so popular.
While this is a very strong anal feature, the opener with Katsumi sexily deep throating a huge dildo as a warm-up for the real thing will cause fans of seductive oral to be pleasantly surprised.
With that been said, Katsumi's torrid torso and fondness for backdoor boffing is one of the highlights of this d.p.-engorged anal feature. Not to say that busty Michelle B.'s butt is any less, well – filling. In groups of mainly three (and one foursome with Jada Fire and Marie Luv), they all go that extra distance for some wide-open pounding action.
Pre-nom for Best Anal-Themed Feature.

I have a question which I cannot find any answers to anywhere on the web. I have a fairly new Gateway desktop computer that had Windows 8 pre-installed. I hated windows 8 so much that I clean installed Ubuntu Linux(dual booting seemed too much of a pain). With the release of Windows 8.1, I decided to give it another try.
I purchased the OEM disks which came from Acer. I installed Windows overwriting Ubuntu. I have done this several times. At the end of each installation I get the message "system restore failed error code 0X3 (the system cannot find the path specified). I reboot the computer manually and windows 8 starts and looks normal. However, I cannot download the 8.1 update(apparently not recognizing that my computer is running Windows 8). Also, Ubuntu is still listed in the BIOS as a boot devise 2, UEFI as boot devise 1.
If I hit f12 at start up it still gives me the option of booting either one although Ubuntu does not exist. The restore disks will not let me do a clean install because it states all files must be removed from the hard drive BEFORE the operation can be performed.(funny,huh?). However, the system blocks from doing this. Tech support argued why I would want to do a clean install before finally admitting that I would have to use third party software to do this. But again, the system prevents any third party software(such as gparted)from booting even with UEFI disabled. If I try to clean install using the system utilities, it states that I have files missing and I would need to load a system disk to retrieve these but the system says my disks are invalid.
I'm not a computer genius but I'm going say my mbr was corrupted by the previous install of Ubuntu. As I am not going to sink any more money into this computer(such as a new hard drive) any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I have been working feverishly on this for days. So far it looks like I've purchased myself a decorative computer paper weight.

Chemistry Club
The Saint Anselm College Chemistry Club participates in both service and professional development. Chemistry Club Members have participate and host National Chemistry Week events, perform demonstrations in elementary and middle school science classes, and host a Science Saturday for local kids. The Club hosts seminars and webinars for Saint Anselm students; some students run office hours and help sessions before exams in the General Chemistry course. They also volunteer to help with the New Hampshire Science Olympiad State Tournament, held on our campus. There is also office space for our students to use, complete with a refrigerator and microwave, and of course a periodic table!
The club is also recognized by the American Chemical Society, which provides numerous opportunities for professional development. Our students attended the 244th American Chemical Society National Meeting in Philadelphia in August 2012 to tell everyone about their research and their involvement in the Saint Anselm Chemistry Club.

Usually, sensor data needs to be disseminated from the source sensors to data collectors (e.g., sink nodes), making those spatially distributed sensor data available for applications to access. The widespread and ubiquitous nature of mobile devices, e.g., PDAs and cell phones around the world, makes them attractive to be used as mobile data collectors (MDCs) to collect and deliver the sensor data. The goal of this work is to design a dissemination protocol that leads to efficient data delivery from the source sensors to ubiquitous MDCs. We propose the Wait-Focus-Spray (WFS) scheme for wireless sensor networks with ubiquitous MDCs. The main objective of WFS is to balance the data delivery latency and transmission overhead when considering the existence of ubiquitous MDCs. In WFS, we also propose a corresponding mechanism-probabilistic scattered binary spraying (PSBS), to reduce the spatial redundancy when spraying data copies, which can increase the probability of meeting a MDC. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate that our WFS scheme reduces the transmission cost per message while provides comparable delivery delay compared with the existing work.

The Division is a "real, true, RPG experience" – E3 video
The Division was one of the surprises of E3 this year, and VG247's Sam Clay was able to sit down with Massive Entertainment's creative director Nicklas Cederström and production director Petter Mannerfelt to discuss the online, open-world RPG's key game pillars. Despite the "what if" story scenario, it all remains grounded in reality and ties into Tom Clancy's "Clear and Present Danger." Watch the video below. The Division is slated for PS4 and Xbox One in 2014. It may come to other platforms.

Glycyrrhiza echinata is a species of flowering plant in the genus Glycyrrhiza.
Glycyrrhiza echinata is native to south-eastern Europe, adjacent parts of West Asia and East Asia.[2]
Glycyrrhiza echinata was one of the species described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1753 work Species Plantarum, the starting point for botanical nomenclature. It has many common names, including Roman licorice,[2] Eastern European licorice[3] and Hungarian licorice.[4]

To the Editor.
—The study by Dr Siscovick and colleagues1 shows that increased levels of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are associated with reduced risk of cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, the authors misstate the sources of n-3 PUFAs. Contrary to popular belief, fish is not the primary dietary source of the long-chain n-3 PUFAs eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n-3). The approximate percentage of total fat as n-3s from samples of common foods (which depend on growing methods, processing, and geographic location) I analyzed are as follows: egg yolk, 1% to 4%; fresh liquid lecithin, 7%; chicken thighs, 3% to 4%; tofu, 7%; soybean oil, 7%; flax oil, 54%; and wheat grass, 53%. Other sources of n-3 include soybeans, flax seeds, canola oil, foods cooked with canola or soybean oil, and green vegetables. Vegetarians and many other people get most of their n-3 PUFAs from

New London - The City Council's Finance Committee on Monday forwarded to the full council a resolution that would designate $925,000 from a bond ordinance approved in 2011 for improvements to Riverside Park.
The plan to improve the park is based largely on a proposal developed in 2011 by the Community Research and Design Collaborative at the University of Connecticut. To better link Winthrop Elementary Magnet School, the park and the Thames River, the plan would involve building a set of stairs from the school to the park, a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks on the riverbank and a pier to stretch out into the river.
The plan also calls for additional picnic and activity spaces within the park.
The proposal passed the committee unanimously, with the support of Council President Wade A. Hyslop and Councilor Erica Richardson. The committee's third member, Councilor Michael Passero, was absent from Monday's meeting.
"I have been through the park since the effort to save the park and I see how much more that park is being utilized and I appreciate the fact that those who voted to save the park did," Hyslop said. "It certainly shows that there is a need for a park on that end of the city."
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio voiced his support for the improvements and told the committee that the city would not bond the full $925,000 at once, but would instead bond what it needs as each phase of the plan progresses.
The early phases, he said, would include general landscaping and a better connection between the park and the Winthrop School. Later phases would include a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks and a pier into the river.
According to a debt service schedule Finance Director Jeff Smith prepared for the councilors, the city's average annual payment for the Riverside Park project would be roughly $67,000.
For each city resident, the project would cost 1 cent per week for the first year, 3 cents per week for the second year and 5 cents per week for the remaining term of the debt, Finizio wrote in an email last month to the City Council.
In an email to the mayor, City Treasurer Donna Rinehart said adding the debt to the city's budget would not require a tax rate increase of even 0.01 mills, which is the smallest change that could trigger a recalibration of the city's tax rate.
"While there is a nominal financial burden on the city to conclude this project, it is not enough to cause even the smallest tax rate increase," Finizio wrote. "At peak debt service levels, this project still costs the average New Londoner less than a penny a day."
Given that the project will not necessitate an increase in the city's tax rate and cost taxpayers less than a penny per day at most, Finizio said he believes the project "easily satisfies the test of affordability and, indeed, could be one of the best 'bangs of the buck' that I have examined in my entire time as mayor."

Twitter Hacked, Temporarily Shut Down
Social networking site Twitter was knocked offline early Friday by hackers who claimed to have links to Iran.
"We are working to recover from an unplanned downtime and will update more as we learn the cause of this outage," Twitter stated in an update on it status page.
A following update from the microblogging service indicated the hackers managed to tamper with the site's Doman Name Service records.
"Twitter's DNS records were temporarily compromised but have now been fixed. We are looking into the underlying cause and will update with more information soon," Twitter stated.

Hey guys.
About a week ago my site stopped generating thumbnails when submitting posts to Facebook, either manually or through dlvr.it.
This seems to have started happening following some hosting shenanigans where a couple of directories got temporarily renamed when they shouldn't have (fixed now). I honestly don't see how this issue could have caused the lack of thumbnails, but it's my only lead right now.
No plugins designed to fix this problem seem to help.
I'm running 3.1.3, with the Suffusion theme. Link to site. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Exdeath X Cloud of Darkness 3 by grandchaosSRWatch
©2011-2016 grandchaosSR
Hmmm <3 Nice. Verreh nyyyce. How much?
Without love, their lives would be nothing but a Void.
Just remember y'all cloud is genderless.
I still think if her as a a she, though.
I still think if her as a a she, though.
Just... mind your tongue. That guy could make sharks jealous.
O_O....Exdeath has a face......a face!!!!!!
S*x inn the void.. Hmmm how would that look like?
pfft treehugger xD
woow awesome and beautiful
A match made in the void...
Is it wrong to have a boner on this?
Best crack!pairing ever
Well done. I really do like this.
Is that a twig in your pants are you just happy to see me?
VoicShipping: My new fav crack pairing (previous one was Riku x Mickey)
I love exdeath this paring is is ... A match made in heaven or, hell
Totally shipping this .w.
Exdeath is lucky to have dem bewbz.
Exdeath is lucky to have dem bewbz.
you know smooching a pissed off looking tree seems weird to me but i guess in terms of the void weird is normal but exdeath yelling Turtle!might just turn CoD off...
I wonder if Exdeath gets Morning Wood.
So many horny (yes pun intended) characters in Final Fantasy serie:
Warrior of Light
"UNGAAAAA!!!!" - Emperor Mateus
Exdeath - human form
Seymour (Somehow)
Summoner Class
The fuck?
Warrior of Light
"UNGAAAAA!!!!" - Emperor Mateus
Exdeath - human form
Seymour (Somehow)
Summoner Class
The fuck?
Observation: Cloud of Darkness' humanoid female body and lack of care for human life, + Exdeath's ambitions and powers = Jenova.
Hmm...maybe Square used CoD and Exdeath as basis for Jenova. If you think about it Square has used this method several times. Exdeath = Necron, Kefka(angel design) = Sephiroth OWA
Their children will be the Void.
Their children will be Gyigas!
I saw this on the Duodecim fan page on FB and I just HAD to favorite it. So many void children.
Whoa Nice!!!!!!!
You call this crack? Haa haa, im so happy to know i wasnt the only one who liked this pairing! They shall make beautiful void babies! <3 Love the coloring, the way how fluent this picture flows, love the way how you drew it...amazing! <3333 Your so amazing for drawing this pairing! <3 keep it up! :>
>>> Interesting..
In theory Exdeath is a being incapable to feel love or any positive human emotion, but is still an interesting idea..
In theory Exdeath is a being incapable to feel love or any positive human emotion, but is still an interesting idea..
The Void beckons
eh, it isa wonderful pairing but me and a friend paired Cloud of Darkness with her man slave(Xande) <----we did it only because they're the personalities of two people that already loved eachother so, yeah foot stuck in a trap there, but then again, i am a big fan of dissidia crack pairings here's another one, Cosmos X Chaos <----never going to f-ing happen and we know it, but then we made another twist to the story so yeah lotsa crack pairings...instead we paired Exdeath with a Dryad(an oddball one who isn't crazed about sex) but at least we made him happy XD
heres a pairing i could see Warrior of light and Cosmos!After all the Warrior of Light is technically Cid of the Lufaine.
I think Exdeath can be paired to one of his minions, Melusine, which IMO is hotter than CoD...because she is completely naked in the game!!! I can't wait to see the 3D version of Melusine.
beautiful piece of art though
wow exdeath looks pretty hot.. I mean he's hot... for a tree.
Totally lovin this!

We have reviewed effects of long chain (LC) n-3 PUFA on markers of atherosclerosis in human subjects with a focus on individual effects of EPA and DHA. Initial results from epidemiological studies suggested that LC n-3 PUFA from fish oils (FO) reduced incidence of CVD; those results have been confirmed in interventional studies. Dietary intervention with n-3 PUFA decreased fasting and postprandial TAG, number of remnant-like chylomicron particles, large VLDL, and total and small dense LDL particles. It increased mean size of LDL particles by increasing number of large and decreasing those of small dense particles. With some exceptions, n-3 PUFA decreased blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR), flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and plasma concentrations of inflammatory markers. n-3 PUFA also decreased circulating adhesion molecules and intima-media thickness (IMT) in some but not other studies. For IMT, results varied with the sex and artery being examined. EPA effects on FMD are endothelial cell dependent, while those of DHA seem to be endothelial cell independent. Individually, both EPA and DHA decreased TAG and inflammatory markers, but only DHA decreased HR, BP and number of small dense LDL particles. Results varied because of dose and duration of n-3 PUFA, EPA:DHA, health status of subjects and other reasons. Future studies are needed to determine optimal doses of EPA and DHA individually, their synergistic, additive or antagonistic effects, and to understand underlying mechanisms. In conclusion, n-3 PUFA decreased several risk factors for atherosclerosis without any serious adverse effects.

There are some team-ups that never fail to elicit glee from long-time comics fans. Wolverine and Hulk. Superman and Batman. And, of course, Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four. The properties all have long histories with one another, so when they share an issue, expectations are always high -â and that goes double for this story, which features one of the first meetings of Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four since the events of Brand New Day.
One of the questions that arose following Brand New Day, in fact, centered on exactly how Spider-Manâs secret identity got put back under wraps, and who knew it â- with particular emphasis on Spideyâs friends, such as Daredevil and Johnny Storm. Readers found out about Daredevil fairly early on, but exactly how much Storm knows has remained a mystery. Until now. The answer isnât quite as straightforward as it might seem.
Dan Slott has been arguably the most consistent Spider-Man writer since the move to thrice-monthly shipping was completed, and having previously written a Spider-Man/Human Torch miniseries, itâs fitting that he handles this mini-arc. Having proven he can write a good Spidey, Slott now auditions himself for Fantastic Four, opting to pen a classic F4 tale of adventure and exploration that simply happens to have Spider-Man in.
While the character interplay and dialogue are Slottâs strong points (never more evident than in his Torch/Spidey banter) he also shows heâs not above some old-school Stan Lee-style plotting as the 5 heroes hop in Reedâs latest experimental craft and visit the âMacroverse.â Complementing Slottâs writing, Kitsonâs art has a clean, classic look well-suited to both the F4 and Spider-Man, and that itself makes the flashback portions of the story (which reference a previously unseen team-up) fit just that extra little bit better.
If thereâs any problem with the issue, itâs in the structure, which ends on not one, but two cliffhangers â- both of which are immediately predictable. Now, in fairness, itâs difficult to end every issue on something thatâll excite jaded, grown-up fans, but itâs a brave writer indeed who ends on two cliffhangers that anyone over the age of 12 could predict the resolution for. Thereâs the chance Slott will throw a curveball and bring something unexpected to the next issue, but more likely heâs just going to pick up the story seamlessly, so that it reads fine without a break when it gets collected. That, at least, is forgivable, and thankfully the issue isnât too marred overall.

Just curious: What do you think is the best location for multiple loops (querys.).
Let's say i have 3 types of custom posts; type1, type2 and type3. And i want to show all three on a (home)page. Let's say the latest post of each one.
Question: should i load these:
- All within one (page.)php file (multiple loops)
- Create separate loop files and then refer to each one within de (page.)php file.
- Or through widgets
I'm asking this, because i'm testing the Roots theme. And this one uses separate loops by default.
Thnx in advance!

What forces led to abolition?
Quakers and Mennonites:As Quakers felt that all believers had God within them and were therefore equal, they were some of the first to speak out against slavery (starting in the early 1700s). Many Quakers had slaves or were involved with those who did, but gradual reform within the sect changed this by the middle of the 18th century. They began to discuss the issue in large, important meetings. John Woolman, a leading reformer, wrote a treatise about slavery that was published the same year that the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting sent a letter to Quakers that "declared slaveholding as unrighteous". The Quakers soon formed committees to educate their "Friends" about not keeping slaves and to punish those who did not end their involvement through sanctions. This group set an example that others were quick to follow, and demonstrated the power that religion had in the abolitionist movement.
Another religious group that was similar to the Quakers were the Mennonites. The Christian ways of the Mennonites and the Quakers did not approve of slavery. Both religions were against any sort of violence of indenture. The Quakers and the Mennonites were some of the first people to openly disagree with slavery and they were highly involved in the Underground Railroad. The Quakers did not approve at all and had to move to the North because of their disgust with the South. Both religions made pacts against slavery.
Other Religion/Religious Revival:As the abolitionist movement was gaining steam, a religious revival swept across the Northern states. Many Christians began to view slavery as a sin, a work of the devil that was "radically, essentially evil." Religion was one of the greatest forces that propelled anti-slavery sentiments forward, with ministers such as Theodore Weld and William Ellery Channing speaking out against the "peculiar institution" with increasing frequency. Abolition became a new crusade for Christians in the North, and large revivalist meetings often focused on the cause. Because of religion, many more Americans became involved in freeing slaves than there otherwise would have been.
America's Founding Principles:Abolitionists believed that the institution of slavery was contrary to America's founding principles. They recalled the words of the Declaration of Independence, which stated that "all men are created equal." Many felt that one of the goals of the much-venerated Founding Fathers was to abolish slavery, which in reality was only partly true. Nevertheless, a sense of duty to their country inspired some to work against slavery in the United States.
Who were the leading figures of abolition?
William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879):William Lloyd Garrison was one of the most important white leaders of the abolitionist movement. He argued for the immediate abolition of slavery in his controversial periodical The Liberator, which he began publishing in the beginning of 1831. One of his most famous quotes from The Liberator is "I shall strenuously contend for the immediate enfranchisement of our slave population...On this subject I do not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation...I am in earnest -- I will not equivocate -- I will not excuse -- I will not retreat a single inch and I will be heard." This statement set the stage for the rest of Garrison's years fighting against the sins of slavery. He believed that harsh and brutally honest language needed to be used to solve the crisis of slavery in the United States, proving this with his words, "I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject I do not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation." Garrison established the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1833, working to end slavery through peaceful means. Unlike some of his contemporaries, he utilized "moral suasion" rather than violence in an attempt to convince others of the wrongs of the "peculiar institution."
Frederick Douglass (1818-1895):This former slave was born in Maryland as Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, and he experienced brutal beatings and horrible living conditions for much of his enslavement. When he escaped later in life, he changed his name to Frederick Douglass and as a free man grew very educated and involved with the Abolitionist Movement. Douglass became a brilliant speaker and was asked by the American Anti-Slavery Society to speak many times for the rights of African Americans. He was soon widely known all over the United States, and became even more famous when his biography was published in 1845. With his fame, he was able to start writing his newspaper, the North Star. Douglass's powerful voice for human rights made him advisor to President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. He was opposed to the separation of slaves in the South from the North, and fought with Lincoln for one united nation.
Harriet Tubman was one of the most influential African American women during the time of slavery. She rescued over 300 slaves (over 19 trips) young and old from slavery over a span of 10 years. Other great freedom fighters named her one of the bravest people on Earth because of the dangers she faced every day for other slaves. Harriet Tubman once proudly pointed out to Frederick Douglass that in all of her journeys she "never lost a single passenger." Tubman worked through the Underground Railroad with the help of many other abololitionist figures. The Underground Railroad was one of the first times in American history that we saw blacks and whites truly working together. This was so important for the Abolitionist Movement because it allowed the cause to grow throughout the country and begin to be taken seriously by all races. There were many people involved in the Underground Railroad routes. There were conductors, stationmasters, and stockholders. Therefore, many people were against slavery and would support the movement for abolition. The Underground Railroad was a very organized and planned-out mission to free slaves. They escaped to Northern America, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Africa.
Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896):Harriet Beecher Stowe was a white Northern woman who was very religious. She wrote the incredibly powerful Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1851, speaking to the anguish and hardship of slaves in the South both physically and spiritually. Northerners felt its deep impact and rallied against slavery harder than ever, while Southerners were outraged once again. Stowe demonstrated the ability abolitionists had to use peaceful methods, such as the written word, to achieve their goals.
Other Notable Abolitionists:
- Sojourner Truth (Isabella Baumfree)
- Daniel Walker
- The Grimké Sisters
- Arthur and Lewis Tappan
What methods and tactics were used to lead the movement?
The Written Word:For the most part, abolitionists tried to spread their message of freedom through non-violent means. Speeches, books, pamphlets, and periodicals all played a major role in the movement for liberation. The Press was the spark that kept the abolitionist movement alight. Leaders were able to communicate to the public through newspapers and journals, to rally the people and spread their ideas. Some of the most famous leaders were able to share their brilliance with the public, influencing the people's opinions.
Famous examples of anti-slavery literature:
- Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin
- Frederick Douglass' Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
- William Lloyd Garrison's The Liberator
- Frederick Douglass' North Star
Liberia:Worried about the long-term effects of true abolition (the North being flooded with free blacks), a large group of Northerners began to support the efforts of the American Colonization Society. This group raised money and bought land in Africa, named it Liberia, and tried to send free blacks there in the hopes that they would "spread Christianity and democracy on that continent." No one else really thought this was a good idea--Southerners were furious about another "conspiracy to deprive them of their property," African-Americans had no desire to leave their own country (the U.S.), and this plan eventually led to bloody civil wars between the African-Americans and native ethnic groups in Liberia.
Daniel Walker:Daniel Walker was a free black man, who published his Appeal...to the Colored Citizens of the World in 1829. He demanded emancipation for all slaves and encouraged them to free themselves or escape. He, unlike Garrison and others, had no problem with using violence to accomplish the goals of abolition. Southerners viewed him as a danger to their lifestyles and wanted him dead. After his Appeal reached the South, "Southern states swiftly enacted laws forbidding anyone to teach slaves to read or write, an effort to prevent such incendiary ideas from reaching a slave audience."
Harpers Ferry:The fight against slavery was rarely violent, as abolitionists preferred to write or speak about the problem. However, John Brown (who was white) and several other men changed this when they attacked an arsenal in Virginia to obtain weapons for a slave revolt. Brown was charged and hanged, but Southerners considered the raid an act of war and seceded from the Union within 18 months. The attack on Harpers Ferry was considered to be a failure, but it was a factor in the war that eventually freed every slave in America.
The AAS and AFAS: Organizations for Emancipation:The American Anti-Slavery Society (AAS) was formed in 1832 by William Lloyd Garrison, Arthur Tappan, and Lewis Tappan. Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and other black abolitionists were members. Several women joined of both races, and in 1840 a split occurred because of disagreements about which causes to support. The members who stuck with the AAS felt that women's suffrage and other societal issues should be addressed at the same time as slavery. The newly-founded American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society (AFAS) members argued that abolition should be solved before women's rights. Some members, in fact, did not support women's rights at all.
The Influence of Women and Other Movements:When the AAS and the AFAS separated, the importance of women in the fight to end slavery was demonstrated. Reform movements such as Protestant revivalism, temperance reform, educational reform, Sabbath reform, and penitentiary reform, as well as the antislavery movement, were all occuring relatively simultaneously, leading women to become more active participants in society. They found that they did have the power to change things, they could get involved, and they were able to fight for their own rights as well. Abolition was deeply tied to the Women's Suffrage Movement for this reason and it is clear that everything else happening at the time also had an impact.

What opposition did the abolitionist movement face?
Why was there so much opposition to freeing slaves, other than because of personal beliefs in superiority?
The Abolitionist Movement faced the reality that the Southern lifestyle ran around plantations and the fight to abolish slavery was threatening everything that the Southerners had to value. The demand for cotton had its own demand for slaves. The Southern farmers who profited from crops like cotton used their money to win political power and spread their culture. Southern slave owners were a minority (many more slaves and non-slave owners) but they did have most of the power in government. They held 50-85% of the state legislative seats and Congressional seats. They were able to create the Confederacy, which only kept slavery in the South for so long.
The Fugitive Slave Law of 1850:Because of this act, Northerners were legally required to aid in the recovery and return of escaped slaves. Several incidents sparked anger and resentment towards the South, this law, and slavery, rallying Northern support for abolition. In effect, the Fugitive Slave Law backfired for the South. Legislatures of the Northern states passed their own "personal liberty laws" that would help escaped slaves to avoid the effects of the Fugitive Slave Law.
Obstacles in the North:Opposition to the abolitionists did not occur only in the South. Poor Northern laborers were afraid of losing their jobs to freed slaves, and many merchants needed to trade with the South in order to stay in business. Abolition would mean bad things for them, and they protested against the movement agressively and often violently. They "disrupted meetings, destroyed abolitionist printing presses, and participated in mob attacks on white abolitionists and free African Americans," endangering spokespeople for freedom in the North. William Lloyd Garrison was nearly killed by a mob in Boston, and another leader had his house ransacked. An abolitionist editor named Elijah Lovejoy was eventually murdered. This extreme violence shocked Northerners, even if they didn't necessarily oppose slavery. They believed that all white Northerners should have freedom of expression/speech/press, which was being denied to them by those who supported slavery.
|The Attack on Elijah Lovejoy
Obstacles in the South:Most outspoken abolitionists in the South had either moved north or quieted down by 1830. Laws were passed south of the Mason-Dixon Line in this time period prohibiting people from teaching slaves to read or write. Southerners hoped that such laws would keep slaves from reading abolitionist material that encouraged them to run away or revolt. Even though William Lloyd Garrison's periodical was not widespread in the early 1830s, Southern defamation of The Liberator made it well-known all over the country (another example of opposition that backfired). Southerners also felt that Northerners were growing more and more "anti-Southern" and tried to suppress The Liberator in the North as well as the South. Their legislatures wanted Garrison to be imprisoned and demanded that all abolitionist leaders in the North be brought to and tried in the South. When this didn't work, they went through the trials without them and began "offering bounties for them dead or alive."
How was the movement successful in achieving its goals?
The Abolitionist Movement was very successful in achieving the ultimate goal of a free country for every race. The struggle leading up to the American Civil War in 1861 was long and unforgiving. Blood was shed and the country was divided, with presidents like James Monroe and Abraham Lincoln acting upon the pressing issue of slavery and seeking to fix it. Monroe created the 36'30 latitude line that divided the Southern territory (the Arkansas Territory) from the Unorganized Territory to the north in the Louisiana Purchase. The South stayed pro-slavery while the North abolished slavery in its territories. Monroe took a baby step for humanity by enacting this 36'30 line of separation, but it ultimately helped to lead to the Civil War.
Abraham Lincoln knew his country was dividing because of the differing views of his countrymen. Lincoln fought with the North against not only the Confederacy but slavery (though quietly at first) as well. The North won the Civil War in 1865, which put into effect Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. This declaration freed slaves all over the country, but most notably in the South. It was a strategic military maneuver, damaging much of the Confederacy's resources and labor force. The Emancipation Proclamation changed the war's focus from preserving the Union to ending slavery, and opened a path for the actual abolition of slavery in the United States. Though it was not predominantly created to give blacks their right to liberty, it did achieve the goal of the Abolitionist Movement. The abolitionists had shaken the nation by arguing that there should be no slavery. Once America began to see the equality of blacks and whites, many more radical movements, such as the Women's Suffrage Movement, successfully achieved their own goals as well.
