The antislavery movement was among the most powerful reform movements to sweep nineteenth-century America. This anthology examines the movement's evolution from the early years of the republic through the Civil War era. These writings, from abolitionists as well as modern-day historians, reveal the origins, motivations, and character of the antislavery movement.
"The 21 essays, speeches, book excerpts, and personal observations, organized historically, look at the movement from both inside and out. The anthology offers a solid starting point for research."
-- Booklist (September 2002)

-- Booklist (September 2002)
"In the new American Social Movements series, these anthologies of articles, speeches interviews, and scholarly essays are for an older, sophisticated audience. There are some fascinating present day writings sure to open up discussion...There is as much here for adults as there is for teens; in fact, the books would be excellent for family discussion."
