considering the views of david walker alongside the republican critique of the south analyzed in the foner chapter, how influential was the radical moral critique of slavery expressed by walker in the republican party of the 1850s?

Respuesta :

There was no influence by radical moral critique of slavery expressed by walker in the republican party of the 1850s.

Leading Republicans emphasized the economic rather than the moral criticism of slavery. Republican Party antislavery views were mostly based on O Walker's radical critique. Republican supporters remained unmoved to the radical moral critique of slavery. Walker's book was a Republican best-seller because abolitionists embraced it with fervor.

Both slaves and slaveholders in the South were greatly affected by The Appeal. The slaves were motivated by the phrases, which also gave them a sense of optimism and pride. However, frightened whites began enacting legislation that forbade slaves from learning to read and curtailed the dissemination of antislavery literature.
