The Abolitionists: Immediatism and the Question of MeansHugh Hawkins Heath, 1964 - 100 páginas "The central concern in this volume is not the merits of antislavery and proslavery arguments, but rather the methods adopted by those opponents of slavery who from the 1830's on pressed for immediate abolition. These readings touch only occasionally on political activity, though many abolutionists consciously chose that as a means. The necessary compromises and appeals for wide voter support tended to prevent anislavery politicians from becoming or remaining immediatists." -- Book introduction. |
