""The Neglected Period of Anti-Slavery in America 1808-1831"" by Alice Dana Adams is a historical account of the early anti-slavery movement in the United States. The book focuses on the period between the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade in 1808 and the formation of the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1831. During this time, there were many individuals and organizations working towards the abolition of slavery, but their efforts have often been overlooked in the larger narrative of the anti-slavery movement. Adams highlights the work of lesser-known figures such as Benjamin Lundy, William Lloyd Garrison, and Maria Stewart, and explores the various strategies they employed to fight against slavery. She also examines the opposition to the anti-slavery movement, including the violent backlash from pro-slavery groups and the government's attempts to suppress abolitionist activities. Through meticulous research and analysis, Adams sheds light on a crucial period in American history and provides a deeper understanding of the complexities of the anti-slavery movement. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery and abolition in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
