"Right and Wrong in Massachusetts" by Maria Weston Chapman is a historical record of when people were trying to end slavery in Massachusetts during the 1800s. The story explains how things were back then and how tough it was to change people's minds about slavery. It talks about the New England Anti-Slavery Society and people like William Lloyd Garrison, who worked hard to make slavery illegal. The book shows how these abolitionists started their fight, what problems they faced from people who supported slavery, and how religious groups felt about it. It describes how unfair slavery was for the freedom-fighters because they were having to work against the flow of society. It also talks about how determined people were to start groups and write things like "The Liberator" so they could convince others to join their cause.
