Book Synopsis The Transformation of American Abolitionism by : Richard S. Newman
Book excerpt: Newman traces the abolition movement's transformation from the American Revolution to 1830, showing how what began in late-18th-century Pennsylvania as an elite movement espousing gradual legal reform had by the 1830s become a radical, egalitarian mass movement based in Massachusetts.
