This book, the latest in the Seminar Studies in History series, examines the movement to abolish slavery in the US, from the origins of the movement in the eighteenth century through to the Civil War and the abolition of slavery in 1865. Books in this Seminar Studies in History series bridge the gap between textbook and specialist survey and consists of a brief Introduction and/or Background to the subject, valuable in bringing the reader up-to-speed on the area being examined, followed by a substantial and authoritative section of Analysis focusing on the main themes and issues. There is a succinct Assessment of the subject, a generous selection of Documents and a detailed bibliography. Stanley Harrold provides an accessible introduction to the subject, synthesizing the enormous amount of literature on the topic. American Abolitionists explores the roles of slaves and free blacks in the movement, the importance of empathy among antislavery whites for the suffering slaves, and the impact of abolitionism upon the sectional struggle between the North and the South. Within a basic chronological framework the author also considers more general themes such as black abolitionists, feminism, and anti-slavery violence. For readers interested in American history.

Map 1 The United States in September 1850
American abolitionists were people - black and white, female and male -who during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries sought to end slavery and secure racial justice. They were part of a broader struggle within the Atlantic World against the enslavement of Africans and people of African descent. As a result of this straggle, a system of unfree labor that in 1750 existed throughout the British, Dutch, French, Portuguese, and Spanish empires in the New World had disappeared by 1888.
In the United States, which declared its independence from Great Britain in 1776, the antislavery effort faced especially determined opposition. Years of conflict between antislavery forces, located mainly in the North, and pro-slavery forces, centered in the South, preceded the emancipation of all American slaves. The unwillingness of African Americans to remain in bondage, profound economic and ideological change associated with the industrial revolution, and major evangelical revivals shaped a powerful antislavery impulse. Bet strong economic, cultural, and racial interests made American slavery a resilient phenomenon. Even after the formal abolition of slavery in 1865, these interests prevented African Americans from enjoying the same legal rights and economic opportunities as white Americans [].
