The Anti Slavery Crusade

Chronicles of America #28

by Jesse Macy

The Anti Slavery Crusade is a book written by Jesse Macy that provides a comprehensive overview of the abolitionist movement in America. The book delves into the history of slavery in America, the efforts of abolitionists to end slavery, and the impact of the movement on American society. Macy covers key figures such as William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Tubman, as well as lesser-known activists who played a crucial role in the fight against slavery. The book also explores the political and social context of the time, including the Civil War and Reconstruction era. Overall, The Anti Slavery Crusade is a thorough and insightful account of one of the most important social movements in American history.Three days after this event Brown and his sons with two or three others made a midnight raid upon their pro-slavery neighbors living in the Pottawatomie valley and slew five men. The authors of this deed were not certainly known until the publication of a confession of one of the party in 1879, twenty years after the chief actor had won the reputation of a martyr to the cause of liberty. The Browns, however, were suspected at the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

[Jessica Roberts]

Here's a good, middle ground overview.....

Of interest is the stressers in the south that had nothing to do with abolitionists. This was written in the first decade of the 20th century, so it is close enough to events before various myths were built. But at the same time it was far enough in time to gain perspective. Highly recommended.

An account of the economical impact of the emancipation movement before the US civil war. Also the political background mostly in the North, where groups like the Quakers in Pennsylvania pushed for emancipation of all slaves which led to the persecution of many of its members, this persecution was more prevalent in the South after the publication of pamphlets and articles promoting emancipation.
