" Within the American antislavery movement, abolitionists were
distinct from others in the movement in advocating, on the basis of
moral principle, the immediate emancipation of slaves and equal
rights for black people. Instead of focusing on the
""immediatists"" as products of northern culture, as many previous
historians have done, Stanley Harrold examines their involvement
with antislavery action in the South--particularly in the region
that bordered the free states. How, he asks, did antislavery action
in the South help shape abolitionist beliefs and policies in the
period leading up to the Civil War? Harrold explores the
interaction of northern abolitionist, southern white emancipators,
and southern black liberators in fostering a continuing antislavery
focus on the South, and integrates southern antislavery action into
an understanding of abolitionist reform culture. He discusses the
impact of abolitionist missionaries, who preached an antislavery
gospel to the enslaved as well as to the free. Harrold also offers
an assessment of the impact of such activities on the coming of the
Civil War and Reconstruction.
