【求完整资源】「PBS：美国经历」 废奴主义者 American Experience's The Abolitionists

Radicals. Agitators. Troublemakers. Liberators. Called by many names, the abolitionists tore the nation apart in order to create a more perfect union. Men and women, black and white, Northerners and Southerners, poor and wealthy, these passionate anti-slavery activists fought body and soul in the most important civil rights crusade in American history. What began as a pacifist movement fueled by persuasion and prayer became a fiery and furious struggle that forever changed the nation.

Bringing to life the intertwined stories of Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Angelina Grimké, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and John Brown, T*he Abolitionists* takes place during some of the most violent and contentious decades in American history, amid white-hot religious passions that set souls on fire, and bitter debates over the meaning of the Constitution and the nature of race. It reveals how the movement shaped history by exposing the fatal flaw of a republic founded on liberty for some and bondage for others, setting the nation on a collision course. In the face of personal risks — beatings, imprisonment, even death — abolitionists held fast to their cause, laying the civil rights groundwork for the future and raising weighty constitutional and moral questions that are with us still.

激进分子。煽动者。麻烦制造者。解放者。废奴主义者为了建立一个更完美的联邦而分裂了国家。男人和女人，黑人和白人，北方人和南方人，穷人和富人，这些充满激情的反奴隶制活动人士在美国历史上最重要的民权运动中进行了身体和灵魂的斗争。一开始是一场由劝说和祈祷推动的和平运动，后来演变成了一场永远改变了这个国家的激烈斗争。

弗雷德里克·道格拉斯(Frederick Douglass)、威廉·劳埃德·加里森(William Lloyd Garrison)、安吉利娜·格里姆克(Angelina Grimke)、哈丽特·比彻·斯托(Harriet Beecher Stowe)和约翰·布朗(John Brown)的故事交织在一起，这些废奴主义者的故事发生在美国历史上最暴力、最具争议的几十年里，当时，白热化的宗教激情点燃了人们的灵魂，关于宪法意义和种族本质得到了激烈的辩论。本纪录片揭示这场运动是如何通过揭露共和国的致命缺陷——它建立在一些人的自由与另一些人的奴役的基础上——来塑造历史的，这使得国家走向了冲突的道路。面对个人风险——殴打、监禁、甚至死亡——废奴主义者坚持他们的事业，为未来奠定了公民权利的基础，并提出了我们仍然面临的重大宪法和道德问题。
