The book explores the evolution of American abolitionism from the 1770s to the 1830s, highlighting its origins alongside the American Republic rather than starting with Garrison's 1831 newspaper. It details how abolitionists transitioned from conservative lobbying to a passionate grassroots reform movement, adapting their strategies to combat slavery and racial injustice. Richard Newman provides a comprehensive analysis of the early activists and their persistent efforts to challenge and eradicate the institution of slavery in America.
