Summary

"Slavery: Letters and Speeches" by Horace Mann is a powerful compilation of writings from the mid-1800s that speaks out against the injustice of slavery. Mann, a leading voice in the fight for abolition, uses letters and speeches to explore the moral and political issues surrounding human freedom. The book calls on young people to stand up for what is right and to value truth and fairness. He starts by urging young men to match their goals with values like love and kindness, warning them to avoid the traps of money and authority, and encouraging them to fight for freedom. The writings argue that it's important to view the fight against slavery as a moral duty.
