Chart on Reform Movements + Reformers + Questions for a Slave + Frederick Douglass Autobiography

The first photo is not of Frederick Douglass. So why do you think it is included?

• Worked on their row for the Chart-Antebellum Reform Movements
• Discussed two questions:
• Are reformers better than non-reformers?
• Why might someone want to be a reformer?
