Against Slavery A groundbreaking collection of documents from America's greatest moral crusade. For as long as the scourge of slavery afflicted America, brave voices cried out against the pernicious institution. Those eloquent cries resound again in this original anthology of primary documents from the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century antislavery and abolitionist movements. Mason Lowance has assembled more than forty crucial speeches, lectures, and essays to trace the evolution of the most important and revolutionary reform in American history: the abolitionist crusade.

Many of the pioneers of abolition were black; dozens of black preachers and writers actively promoted the cause; black organizations were founded to support their brothers; black ambassadors for freedom crossed the Atlantic; blacks were instrumental in the operation of the Underground Railroad. Quarles puts it eloquently: "To the extent that America had a revolutionary tradition [the black American] was its protagonist no less than its symbol." |
