Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-11 00:00:00 David Rayolson An account of the economical impact of the emancipation movement before the US civil war. Also the political background mostly in the North, where groups like the Quakers in Pennsylvania pushed for emancipation of all slaves which led to the persecution of many of its members, this persecution was more prevalent in the South after the publication of pamphlets and articles promoting emancipation.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-05-26 00:00:00 Jean Lapointe Here's a good, middle ground overview..... Of interest is the stressers in the south that had nothing to do with abolitionists. This was written in the first decade of the 20th century, so it is close enough to events before various myths were built. But at the same time it was far enough in time to gain perspective. Highly recommended.
