This powerful narrative tells the triumphant story of the men and
women who spent their lives and fortunes trying to abolish the
institution of slavery in the United States. The practice of
African slavery has been described as the United States's most
shameful sin. Undoing this practice was a long, complex struggle
that lasted centuries and ultimately drove America to a bitter
civil war. After an introduction that places the United States's
form of slavery into a global, historical perspective, author T.
Adams Upchurch shows how an ancient custom evolved into the
American South's peculiar institution. The gripping narrative will
fascinate readers, while excerpts from primary documents provide
glimpses into the minds of key abolitionists and proslavery
apologists. The book's glossary, annotated bibliography, and
chronology will be indispensable tools for readers researching and
writing papers on slavery or abolitionists, making this text ideal
for high school and college-level students. Contains excerpts from
speeches and writings of William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick
Douglass, John C. Calhoun, and others, as well as documents from
the American Anti-Slavery Society and the Liberty party Provides a
chronological history beginning with the colonial era and ending
with the Civil War, covering every major event in the abolition
movement Includes a biographical profiles section containing
several mini-biographies of the most important abolitionists A
glossary defines terms used commonly in discussing American slavery
and abolitionism such as "chattel," "mulatto," and "moral suasion"
