Abolition Of Slavery

"The Abolition Of Slavery: The Right Of The Government Under The War Power" presents arguments for the abolition of slavery during the American Civil War. Featuring contributions from prominent abolitionists and thinkers such as William Lloyd Garrison, John Quincy Adams, Joshua R. Giddings, and Orestes Augustus Brownson, this collection of essays explores the constitutional and moral justifications for the federal government to abolish slavery using its war powers.

Originally published in 1862, this work reflects the urgent debates of the time, offering valuable insights into the legal and ethical dimensions of the conflict. It remains a significant historical document for understanding the abolitionist movement and the legal strategies employed to end slavery in the United States. This edition allows modern readers to engage with the original arguments and perspectives that shaped one of the most transformative periods in American history.
