· Sectionalism: refers to a political or social structure that places a certain area or group of a country's citizens above the interests of the entire country. The North and South had different economic and cultural systems, which led to its emergence in the US throughout the 19th century. The Southern states' determination to safeguard their heavily reliant on slavery economy led them to secede from the Union, which was a key factor in the start of the Civil War.
· Abolitionism: a movement that was focused on abolishing slavery, especially in the 19th century in the United States. Abolitionists regarded slavery as a moral sin and worked to end it via a variety of channels, including direct action, political activity, and the legal system. Through the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, the campaign was instrumental in the eventual abolition of slavery in the United States.
· David Walker Nat: Abolitionist who was African American and lived in the early 19th century. His booklet "Walker's Appeal," which demanded the rapid abolition of slavery and exhorted those who were still in servitude to struggle for their liberation, is what made him most famous. The leaflet had a huge influence on the abolitionist cause and was extensively disseminated.
· Turner: A black American slave who, in 1831, instigated a rebellion against white Virginian slave-owners. Before being apprehended and put to death, Turner and his supporters killed over 60 people. The insurrection significantly influenced the national conversation about slavery and helped the South establish tighter slave laws.

Her well-known "Ain't I a Woman?" speech, which she made at a conference for women's rights in 1851, is among the most renowned of her strong statements on slavery and women's rights.

· "Gag rule": A set of guidelines that, in the 1830s and 1840s, the US House of Representatives enacted prohibiting the debate or consideration of petitions pertaining to slavery. Abolitionists viewed the "gag rule" as a violation of their right to free expression since it was created to prohibit anti-slavery petitions from being considered in Congress.
· Hobbs v. Fogg (1837): A court case in which Charlotte Hobbs, a slave, sued Nathaniel Fogg, her master, for freedom. Because it questioned the legitimacy of slavery in New England, where it had been virtually abolished by the early 19th century, the case was noteworthy.
· Jefferson Davis Militant: A political figure from the United States who presided over the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. Davis was a fervent supporter of states' rights and secession and was crucial to the Confederacy's political and military plans throughout the war.
· Abolitionism: A school of abolitionism that favored using force and direct action to abolish slavery. Militant abolitionists frequently carried out acts of sabotage and violent resistance against slaveholders because they thought that slavery was a moral evil that could not be eliminated by peaceful methods.
