Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Anti-Slavery in America From the Introduction of African Slaves to the Prohibition of the Slave Trade (1619-1808)
Abolition Societies which had been formed during the period Of State emancipation was confined to the Middle Atlantic States, where there was but little to be done. The troubled years Of the Embargo policy and afterwards the War of 1812 turned men's thoughts in other directions, just at the time when the cotton-gin was quietly making slavery too profitable to be easily disposed of. During the Revolutionary War there was a similar decline Of anti-slavery literature, a similar decadence Of organized e?'ort through an Abolition Society.
