In an article she wrote for the Journal of Negro History (1964), historian Betty Fladeland posed the question: "Who were the Abolitionists?" Nearly thirty years later, historians still strive to understand this fascinating and diverse group of women and men who committed themselves to the movement for racial equality and the end of slavery. In this book, Paul Goodman explores the factors that motivated some white abolitionists to reject the colonization movement during the early ninteenth-century in favor of the more radical and explicitly antiracist immediatist abolition movement. |
