A classic piece of Old Left scholarship made available to a new
generation of students and activists
Bernard Mandel's classic study provides a concise overview of
the relationship between organized abolitionism and the fledgling
labor movement in the period before the Civil War. Mandel argues
that slavery reinforced the powerlessness of white workers North
and South, and the racial divisions that it upheld rendered
effective labor solidarity impossible. Deep distrust between
abolitionists and the working classes, however, compelled Northern
workers to find their own way into the antislavery ranks.
