There was no discernible growth in radicalism between 1815 and 1816, and I can virtually guarantee there are no websites that could show it. American antislavery was in its infancy in 1815 and only grew radical in the 1830s and 1840s. The question about antebellum antislavery is a good one, and I'm glad to see it's being asked in DCPS classrooms.  I think the reporter may have misheard the teacher — the question was probably in reference to the growing radicalism of the antislavery movement between 1815 and 1860 — not 1816.
