UNIT III: 1450 - 1750 C.E. In the previous era (600-1450 C.E.), sometimes called the post-classical period, we explored the rise of new civilizations in both hemispheres, the spread of major religions that created cultural areas for analysis, and an expansion of long-distance trade to include European and African kingdoms. However, no sustained contact occurred between the eastern and western hemisphere. During the time period between 1450 and 1750 C.E., the two hemispheres were linked and for the first time in world history, long-distance trade became truly worldwide. QUESTIONS OF PERIODIZATION This era includes only 300 years, but some profound and long-lasting changes occurred. Characteristics of the time between 1450 and 1750 include:

Part A. Wendell Phillips Wendell Phillips believed in the abolition of slavery and denounced the Constitution because slavery was allowed under it. He also believed in advocating women?s and Native American?s rights, universal suffrage and temperance. Phillips was known as the voice of the anti-slavery movement, delivering speeches as a great public figure in the Anti-Slavery Society in 1835. He also wrote pamphlets for William Lloyd Garrison?s The Liberator on abolition. He was very successful in promoting reform, he was able to further his career because of his popularity among the public. Replacing Garrison, he became President of the Anti-Slavery Society. He lived to see his progress to the Constitution which was the 13th, 14th and 15th amendment.
