"The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Omnibus" by the American Anti-Slavery Society is a powerful collection of abolitionist writings from the 1800s working to tear down slavery in the United States. Through essays and letters, the book questions any moral or legal reason for slavery to continue. It starts by telling Americans that their rights are at risk because of laws and agreements between the North and South. The collection argues that the Constitution is being threatened by people who want to keep slavery legal. It shines a light on some big injustices, like people not being able to speak out or protest against slavery demonstrating the need for people to come together and fight for freedom. By appealing to what is right and wrong, it brings the reader to the abolitionist cause.
