Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the events of the Boston Garrison Mob of 1835, a suppression of free speech in reaction to the growing abolition movement. The rising tension between pro-abolitionists and their opposition led to a riot when a prominent antislavery speaker was scheduled to speak in the city. The author presents multiple accounts from various viewpoints, including the mayor of Boston, who ordered the arrest of the speaker and dispersed the crowd with force. The author includes detailed personal accounts of the escalating violence, with themes of political oppression, mob mentality, and the fight for freedom of speech echoing throughout.
