“History of American Abolitionism” by F. G. De Fontaine is a historical exploration into the anti-slavery movement in America, starting from the late 1700s and continuing to the brink of the Civil War. It shines a bright light on the laws, social impacts, and clashes linked to the battle against slavery, providing a complete view into how abolitionism reshaped American society, including the impact it had on legislation and tensions that pulled the nation apart. It sets the scene by showing the atmosphere of the era with its fierce debates about slavery and the moral, political, and social disagreements it caused. The book brings up the different types of abolitionists, from those with real humanitarian reasons to those keen to break the nation apart for quick freedom.
