Radical Abolitionists vs. Political Reformers

 

Resolution: Proclaim Liberty now throughout all the land to all the inhabitants thereof! Slavery MUST BE BROKEN UP, not at some later day, not through political reform, but now through the moral realization that the slave is a man and a brother.

Abolition of Slavery: Secondary Sources

Research Advice: Search subject headings such as: Abolitionists; Anti-Slavery Movements; American Anti-Slavery Society; Liberty Party. Research personal names William Lloyd Garrison and James G. Birney under both author and subject headings. Especially recommended: Aileen Kraditor's Means and Ends in American Abolitionism (see abolition sources).
