Summarize The Viewpoints In The Option Summary

- Summarize the viewpoints given in the option. In other words, what are the ins and outs of the option?
This ideology believed that abolitionism did not have to be violent and could be quickly as long as the slave owners were requited. This would include a sort of “buying” the slaves and then letting them free. This would leave the old slave owners compensated and would allow the slaves to go free. Along with no violence this is an ideal solution. Although this idea sounds perfect, there were still problems with it. Some slave owners did not want to give up their ownership of these slaves. Another large issue is where would the government get the money to pay off these place owners. Many felt they were owed this money if slavery was abolished
They would be a continuous fight that would last until one side gave out which would not be good in the end. It would also lead to further hatred from both sides of the quarrel. Because this option will lead to lots of bloodshed I do not think it would help.
3) This idea could be viable but would cause a lot of trouble and would effect a lot of the soldiers in the effort to abolish slavery to question whether killing their friends is worth the freedom of “lowly” slaves. Because of this it seems this is more of a last resort option if the slave owners do not take to the idea of abolishing slavery.
4) I think on paper this idea would be the best but in practical terms its just waiting for it to end without any real effort being put into it. This gives a lot of chance for bad things to happen and doesn't allow any growth for the slaves in this time. Without this growth slaves will have fallen into a slump and still be discriminated against. Sadly the American society it has stayed this way. In the long term this idea would be good but these ideas were needed for the salves at the moment.
