Publisher's Synopsis
The Neglected Period Of Anti-Slavery In America 1808-1831 by Alice Dana Adams is a comprehensive study of the early anti-slavery movement in America. The book focuses on the period between 1808 and 1831, which is often overlooked in discussions of the abolitionist movement. During this time, many people were actively working to end the institution of slavery, but their efforts have largely been forgotten.Adams explores the various tactics and strategies used by anti-slavery activists during this period, including petitions, public speaking, and the establishment of anti-slavery societies. She also examines the role of women in the movement, as well as the connections between the anti-slavery movement and other social and political movements of the time.Throughout the book, Adams emphasizes the importance of this neglected period in the history of the anti-slavery movement. She argues that the work of these early activists laid the groundwork for the more well-known abolitionist efforts of the mid-19th century, and that their contributions deserve greater recognition.Overall, The Neglected Period Of Anti-Slavery In America 1808-1831 provides a valuable contribution to the study of American history and the fight against slavery. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of social justice movements 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.
