Book Description
Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Movement Ladies and Gentlemen: Had I consulted my own health, or the advice of my physician, I should have been elsewhere, and otherwise employed this evening. I am not well, and have not been so for several weeks. I have usually come to this platform to lecture on slavery - that darkest and hugest of all wrongs - the vilest (in the language of John Wesley) that ever saw the sun. But it has pleased the Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society to have presented here, during the winter, almost every phase of that terrible wrong; and I have, therefore, selected my topic in view of that tact. It will, probably, amount to the same thins; in the end. Some one has, happily, said, that it matters very little which path the traveller may take; he has but to go forward to go round the world. In like manner it may be said, that it matters little which path of inquiry a man may pursue, or which great moral or spiritual fact he may investigate; he has but to honestly persevere to find himself, at last, at the portals of the whole universe of truth, and speedily walking amidst its golden glories. The subject of my lecture this evening is, the nature, character, and history of the anti-slavery movement.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Movement in Kentucky, Prior to 1850: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy While much has been written concerning the anti - slavery movement in the United States, the work of historians has been chiefly directed toward the radical movement associated with the name of William Lloyd Garrison. This has often been done at the expense of and sometimes to the total neglect of those who favored gradual emancipation. This inequality of treatment has been accredited to the fact that the Garrisonian abolitionists were exceedingly active and vigorous in their propaganda and not to any preponderance of numbers or larger historical sig nificance. The gradual emancipationists, unlike the followers of Garrison who were restricted to the free states, were found in all parts of the Union. They embraced great numbers of the leaders in politics, business, and education; and while far more numerous in the free than in the slave states they nevertheless included a large and respectable element in Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri. It was to be expected that the gradual emancipationists in these border states would act with conservatism. They were themselves sometimes slave holders and in any event they saw the difficulties and dangers of any sort of emancipation. Their number was, however, too considerable and their activities too noteworthy to warrant the neglect which they have received at the hands of the historians of the anti-slavery movement. In this volume I have attempted to relate the history of the anti-slavery movement in Kentucky to the year 1850 with special emphasis upon the work of the gradual emancipationists. I intend later to prepare a second volume which will carry the study to 1870; and I hope that the appearance of this work will encourage the promotion of similar studies in the other border states.

Book Description
Excerpt from William Lloyd Garrison and His Times: Or, Sketches of the Anti-Slavery Movement in America, and of the Man Who Was Its Founder and Moral Leader More thalu a few of the survivin g associates of Mr. Garrison have expressed to me their earnest thanks for this sincere but all inadequate tribute to his character and memory, and for the effort to present a historical outline of the movement With Which his name will be forever identified. The time to write an impartial history of that movement Will not come until long after all those Who took part in it are in their graves; but as one of the actors I have sought to make a contribution of some value to the materials for such a history, and to meet a want of the present time. That I have not been Wholly unsuccessful in the execution of this purpose the unsolicited and spontaneous testimony of eminent persons on both sides of the Atlantic en courages me to believe.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Hero of the Anti-Slavery Movement: The Story of Isaac Hopper Hopper was born on December 3rd, 1771, near Woodbury, in West New Jersey. The home was a very simple one. It was a mere hen-house which Isaac's father had been allowed to bring away from the old homestead when he married. He had set it down near a great oak in the midst of five or six hundred acres of wild woodland, which he was to clear and farm. He and his wife had been neighbours and playmates from childhood, and this was the very spot which they had long ago fixed upon for their future dwelling.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Underground Railroad From Slavery to Freedom The book is practically divided into four parts: the Rail road itself (chapters ii, v); the railroad hands (chapters iii, iv, vi); the freight (chapters vii, viii); and political relations and effects (chapters ix, x, xi). Perhaps one of the most interesting contributions to our knowledge of the subject is the account of the beginnings of the system of secret and systematic aid to fugitives. Lite evidence goes to show that there was organization in Pennsylvania before 1800 and in Ohio soon after 1815. The book thus becomes a much-needed guide to information about the obscure anti-slavery movement which preceded William Lloyd Gar rison, and to some degree prepared the way for him; and it will prove a source for the historian of the influence of the West in national development. As yet we know too little of the anti-slavery movement which so profoundly stirred the W'estern states, including Kentucky and Missouri, and which came closely into contact With the actual conditions of slavery. As Professor Siebert points out, most of the early abolitionists in the West were former slaveholders or sons of slaveholders.

Book Description
Excerpt from Political Abolition It is that of a Northern man, born and educated in a free State, always opposed to slavery, still opposed to it, judging it to be wrong, and desiring to see it abolished, as well in this country, as in all others. This he assumes to be the general feeling of the people in the free States, as he has rarely found an instance to the contrary. We, therefore, of the free States, (we speak for the great body of the people, ) do not yield to the Abolitionists a whit in our opposition to slavery; we differ from them only as to the mode of getting rid of the evil. We claim to be the true friends of the slave, while we believe them to be pursuing a course hos tile to his best interests, and unfavorable to his emancipation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Some Recollections of Our Antislavery Conflict I am happy to announce that in due time a somewhat elaborate history of the rise and fall of the slave power in America may be expected from the Hon. Henry Wil son. He is competent to the undertaking. He is cau tions and candid as well as brave and explicit. He was an Abolitionist before he became a politician. H e has never ignored the rights of humanity, for the sake of par tisan success or personal aggrandizement. Mr. Wilson, I believe, did as much as any one of our prominent statesmen to procure the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and to effect its subversion through out the country.
