Antislavery white clergy and their congregations. Radicalized
abolitionist women. African Americans committed to ending slavery
through constitutional political action. These diverse groups
attributed their common vision of a nation free from slavery to
strong political and religious values. Owen Lovejoy's gregarious
personality, formidable oratorical talent, probing political
analysis, and profound religious convictions made him the powerful
leader the coalition needed. Owen Lovejoy and the Coalition for
Equality examines how these three distinct groups merged their
agendas into a single antislavery, religious, political campaign
for equality with Lovejoy at the helm. Combining scholarly
biography, historiography, and primary source material, Jane Ann
Moore and William F. Moore demonstrate Lovejoy's crucial role in
nineteenth-century politics, the rise of antislavery sentiment in
religious spaces, and the emerging congressional commitment to end
slavery. Their compelling account explores how the immorality of
slavery became a touchstone of political and religious action in
the United States through the efforts of a synergetic coalition led
by an essential abolitionist figure.
