The clearly and concisely written entries in this reference work
chronicle the campaign to end human slavery in the United States,
bringing to life the key events, leading figures, and socioeconomic
forces in the history of American antislavery, abolition, and
emancipation. The struggle to abolish human slavery is one of the
most important reform campaigns in history. The eventual success of
this decades-long struggle serves as an inspiring example that even
the most deeply rooted social wrongs can be corrected. This
valuable reference work details the history of antislavery,
abolition, and emancipation to illustrate the various forms of
these forces and the courses they followed in the bitterly
contested struggle against the institution of slavery, affording
readers the most current compendium of the diverse scholarship of
this important historical topic. Geared toward readers seeking to
learn about antislavery and abolition in U.S. or African American
history, Abolition and Antislavery: A Historical Encyclopedia of
the American Mosaic addresses a period of particular significance:
the years that shaped the sectional debates leading up to the Civil
War. The coverage encompasses both white abolitionists such as
Theodore Dwight Weld and William Lloyd Garrison and black
abolitionists such as Frederick Douglass, Martin Delaney, and
Sojourner Truth. Each alphabetically organized entry contains
cross-references as "See Also" at the end of each entry text. An
introductory essay ensures that all readers have a clear framework
for understanding the subject, regardless of their previous
background knowledge. Offers an accessibly written reference work
comprising easy-to-find subject entries for readers unfamiliar with
this period in history Includes primary sources-such as former
slave Sojourner Truth's famous speech, "Ar'n't I a Woman?" at a
women's convention in Ohio in 1851-that promote critical thinking
and interpretive reading skills underscored in the Common Core
Standards Provides additional reading suggestions and a
bibliography of sources to supply avenues for further study
