The Anti-Slavery Crusade A CHRONICLE OF THE GATHERING STORM

Beschreibung

"The Anti-Slavery Crusade," authored by Jesse Macy, provides a compelling and comprehensive exploration of the fervent movement to abolish slavery in the United States. This edition of The Anti-Slavery Crusade is both modern and legible, with an eye-catching new cover and professionally typeset manuscript. Some stories are brutal and weird, while others creep up on you and draw you in slowly. The work of literature is a comprehensive investigation of the people, events, and philosophies which propelled the fight against slavery. Jesse Macy, a well-known historian and academic, skilfully navigates the complicated history of the anti-slavery struggle. His voice brings to life the struggles of abolitionists, both well-known figures and untold heroes, who committed their lives to abolishing the barbaric practice through incisive insights and rigorous research. Macy exposes the profound moral and ethical convictions that drove revolutionaries like Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and William Lloyd Garrison to oppose the deeply entrenched institution of slavery through compelling storytelling.

Autor

Jesse Macy (June 21, 1842 - November 2, 1919) was a United States political scientist and historian that specialized in the history of American political parties, party systems, and the Civil War in the late nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. He spent the majority of his professional career at Grinnell College, his alma mater. Jesse Macy, the thirteenth of fourteen children, was born in Indiana to Quaker parents, but the family relocated to central Iowa in 1856 and began farming outside Lynnville, near the newly established town of Grinnell. He enrolled in Iowa College, now Grinnell College, when he was 17 years old. He served in the Union army during the Civil War and did not graduate until after the war, getting an A.B. in 1870.
