In the crucial early years of the Abolition movement, the Boston branch of the cause seized upon the star power of the eloquent ex-slave Frederick Douglass to make its case for slaves' freedom. Journalist William Lloyd Garrison promoted emancipation while Garrison loyalist Maria Weston Chapman, known as "the Contessa," raised money and managed Douglass's speaking tour from her Boston townhouse. Conventional histories have seen Douglass's departure for the New York wing of the Abolition party as a result of a rift between Douglass and Garrison. But, as acclaimed historian Linda Hirshman reveals, this completely misses the woman in power. Weston Chapman wrote cutting letters to Douglass, doubting his loyalty; the Bostonian abolitionists were shot through with racist prejudice, even aiming the N-word at Douglass among themselves. Through incisive, original analysis, Hirshman convinces that the inevitable breakup was in fact a successful failure. Eventually, as the most sought-after Black activist in America, Douglass was able to dangle the prize of his endorsement over the Republican Party's candidate for President, Abraham Lincoln. Two years later the abolition of slavery -- if not the abolition of racism -- became immutable law." -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Douglass, Frederick, $d 1818-1895. 600 10 $a Garrison, William Lloyd, $d 1805-1879. 600 10 $a Chapman, Maria Weston, $d 1806-1885. 650 0 $a Antislavery movements $z Boston $z Boston $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Antislavery movements $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a African American abolitionists. 650 0 $a Abolitionists $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Racism $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 941 $a 11 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409042020.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314023302.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031059.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030047.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230616010120.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20221130141407.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024453.0 952 $l OEPC877 $d 20220714140406.0 $m 973 Hir 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20220713103957.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220514010903.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220309010120.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95C432BA9F7611ECBC2E855C59ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
