Joseph Sturge (1793 1859) was an English Quaker who was influential
in campaigning for the abolition of slavery in the British empire
and founded the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in 1839.
Having visited the West Indies in 1834, he travelled to the United
States in 1841 to examine the slavery question there firsthand, and
to lend his support to the American abolition movement by sharing
his experiences of how success was achieved elsewhere. His account
of his visit, and of the feelings and opinions of the American
campaigners he met, is the subject of this 1842 book, which he
hoped would encourage activists around the world and promote
understanding among them.
