The astonishing transformation of the abolitionist movement during
the Civil War proved enormously consequential both for the cause of
abolitionism in general and for the nation. Drawing on a cast of
famous and obscure figures from Frederick Douglass to Moncure
Conway, Frank J. Cirillo's The Abolitionist Civil War explores how
antislavery reformers, including those who supported the immediate
abolition of the enslaved, contorted their arguments and clashed
with each other as they labored over the course of the conflict to
create a more perfect Union. Cirillo reveals that immediatists'
efforts to forge a morally transformed nation that enshrined
emancipation and Black rights shaped contemporary debates
surrounding abolitionism but ultimately did little to promote
racial justice for African Americans.
