Description

"The Rise of Aggressive Abolitionism includes the full texts of the Addresses and those of two related documents. It provides a detailed analysis of their historical context, the reactions they provoked, and their lasting impact on antebellum America. In the first book devoted to the topic, Harrold details the emergence of an aggressive anti-slavery movement that led to the Civil War and, ultimately, to emancipation."--Jacket.
