Book Description
First Published in 1971. When, in the spring of 1853, Harriet Beecher Stowe landed in Liverpool at the beginning of her first triumphal tour of the British Isles, one of the first people she met was Sir George Stephen. It was, in its way, a symbolic encounter. Both were second generation abolitionists whose whole lives had been intimately linked with the progress of the anti-slavery causes in their respective countries. This is a collection of seventeen letters Sir Stephen write to Mrs Beecher Stowe.

Book Description
Excerpt from Some Recollections of Our Antislavery Conflict I am happy to announce that in due time a somewhat elaborate history of the rise and fall of the slave power in America may be expected from the Hon. Henry Wil son. He is competent to the undertaking. He is cau tious and candid as well as brave and explicit. He was an Abolitionist before he became a politician. He has never ignored the rights of humanity, for the sake of par tisan success or personal aggrandizement. Mr. Wilson, I believe, did as much as any one of our prominent statesmen to procure the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and to effect its subversion through out the country.

Book Description
In Abolitionists Remember, Julie Roy Jeffrey illuminates a second, little-noted antislavery struggle as abolitionists in the postwar period attempted to counter the nation's growing inclination to forget why the war was fought, what slavery was really like, and why the abolitionist cause was so important. In the rush to mend fences after the Civil War, the memory of the past faded and turned romantic--slaves became quaint, owners kindly, and the war itself a noble struggle for the Union. Jeffrey examines the autobiographical writings of former abolitionists such as Laura Haviland, Frederick Douglass, Parker Pillsbury, and Samuel J. May, revealing that they wrote not only to counter the popular image of themselves as fanatics, but also to remind readers of the harsh reality of slavery and to advocate equal rights for African Americans in an era of growing racism, Jim Crow, and the Ku Klux Klan. These abolitionists, who went to great lengths to get their accounts published, challenged every important point of the reconciliation narrative, trying to salvage the nobility of their work for emancipation and African Americans and defending their own participation in the great events of their day.
