| The Rise of Aggressive Abolitionism: Addresses to the Slaves. By Stanley Harrold. (Lexington: University Press of Kentucky, 2004. x, 246 pp. $35.00, ISBN 0-8131-2290-2.)

| In many respects Stanley Harrold's latest book continues the argument he presented in The Abolitionists and the South (1995): that the abolitionist movement was an intersectional alliance that bound together northern and southern blacks and whites. In his earlier study he explored the relationship between northern immediatists and antislavery action in the upper South. He now sets forth an extensive analysis of the "addresses to the slaves" that Gerrit Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, and Henry Highland Garnet delivered in the early 1840s, as well as the full texts of these addresses and two related documents. |
