Antislavery Before Garrison

Antislavery Before Garrison: An Address is a book written by Leonard Woolsey Bacon in 1903. The book is a historical account of the antislavery movement in the United States before the emergence of William Lloyd Garrison as a prominent abolitionist in the 1830s. Bacon provides a detailed analysis of the various antislavery efforts that were undertaken by individuals and groups in the decades leading up to Garrison's rise to prominence. He examines the work of early abolitionists such as Benjamin Rush, David Walker, and William Ellery Channing, as well as the efforts of religious groups such as the Quakers and the Congregationalists. Bacon also discusses the role of African Americans in the antislavery movement, highlighting the contributions of figures such as Prince Hall and James Forten. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the antislavery movement in the United States and sheds light on the lesser-known figures who played a crucial role in the fight against slavery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
