A collection of early anti-slavery and abolitionist newspapers, including issues of The Emancipator, the National Anti-Slavery Standard, and the Liberator. Some of the papers are edited by William Lloyd Garrison; others by Edmund Quincy & James Russell Lowell - all three important names in the abolitionist movement. Newspapers are dated from 1836-1850, a range that captures the beginnings and the development of the abolitionist movement in the U.S. They deal with important topics such as the treatment of slavery in the Southern press; remarks by Congressmen, Senators, and Presidents on the slavery issue; the fugitive slave act; and reports of anti-slavery meetings and conferences. They present cogent arguments against slavery.
