In The Writings of Warner Mifflin, Gary Nash and Michael
McDowell present the correspondence, petitions, and memorials to
state and federal legislative bodies, semi-autobiographical essays,
and other materials of the key figure in the U.S. abolitionist
movement between the end of the American Revolution and the
Jefferson presidency. Virtually unknown to Americans, Mifflin has
been brought to life in Nash’s recent biography, Warner Mifflin:
Unflinching Quaker Abolitionist (2017). This volume provides an
array of insights into the mind of this conscience-bound pacifist
Quaker who became instrumental in making Kent County, Delaware, a
bastion of free blacks liberated from slavery and a seedbed of a
reparationist doctrine that insisted that masters owed
“restitution” to manumitted Africans and their descendants.
Mifflin's writings also show how he became the most skilled
lobbyist of the antislavery campaigners who haunted the legislative
chambers of North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and
Pennsylvania as well as the halls of the Continental Congress and
the First and Second Federal Congresses. An opening introduction
and introductions to each of the five chronologically arranged
parts of the book provide context for the documents and a narrative
of the life of this remarkable American.
