Synopsis

This substantial treasury contains hundreds of letters
exchanged by African Americans and abolitionists in the

political and philosophical leaders, including Frederick
Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, and many others. Not
available elsewhere, this essential reference for students of
American history and politics provides a nuanced portrait of
abolitionist politics during the sixty years that led up to the
Civil War.
