Charles Sumner

    Charles Sumner profileerde zich als een vooraanstaande academische jurist en redenaar, die de anti-slavernijkrachten in Massachusetts aanvoerde. Als leidende figuur in de Senaat van de Verenigde Staten was hij een leider van de Radical Republicans tijdens de Burgeroorlog, gericht op de vernietiging van de Confederatie en de bevrijding van alle slaven. Tijdens de Reconstructie zette Sumner zich krachtig in om de macht van de ex-Confederaten te minimaliseren en gelijke rechten voor de vrijgelatenen te waarborgen, waarmee hij een blijvende impact achterliet op de strijd voor gerechtigheid en gelijkheid.

      The book presents a compelling argument against the institution of slavery in the United States, highlighting the hypocrisy of fighting against white slavery abroad while permitting black slavery domestically. Delivered as a lecture in 1847 by a prominent anti-slavery activist, it challenges societal norms and calls for moral consistency in the fight for freedom. Through historical context and poignant reasoning, the work serves as a significant critique of American values and the contradictions surrounding the issue of slavery.
