Antislavery Before Garrison

Antislavery Before Garrison: An Address is a book written by Leonard Woolsey Bacon and published in 1903. This book is an insightful analysis of the antislavery movement that existed before the famous abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. The author, Leonard Woolsey Bacon, was a prominent American Congregationalist minister and theologian who was deeply involved in the antislavery movement of the 19th century.In this book, Bacon traces the history of the antislavery movement from its early beginnings in the colonial period to the emergence of the radical abolitionist movement led by Garrison in the 1830s. He argues that the antislavery movement was a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that involved a wide range of individuals and organizations, including religious groups, political parties, and social reformers.Bacon also examines the various strategies and tactics used by antislavery activists, including petitions, boycotts, and direct action. He highlights the contributions of lesser-known figures in the antislavery movement, such as Benjamin Lundy, who founded the first antislavery newspaper, and David Walker, who wrote a powerful pamphlet advocating for the immediate abolition of slavery.Overall, Antislavery Before Garrison: An Address is an important historical work that sheds light on the diverse and often overlooked antislavery movement that existed before the more famous abolitionist movements of the mid-19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery and the struggle for freedom and equality in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
