The Anti-Slavery Movement In Kentucky Prior To 1850

The Anti-Slavery Movement in Kentucky Prior to 1850 by Asa Earl Martin is a comprehensive study of the abolitionist movement in the state of Kentucky before the Civil War. Martin explores the history of slavery in Kentucky, the economic and social factors that supported the institution, and the efforts of abolitionists to end it. The book examines the strategies and tactics used by anti-slavery activists, including the publication of newspapers, the formation of societies, and the use of public speaking and political action. Martin also provides biographical sketches of key figures in the movement, such as Cassius M. Clay and Robert Wickliffe, and analyzes the impact of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 on the movement. The Anti-Slavery Movement in Kentucky Prior to 1850 offers a valuable perspective on the struggle to end slavery in one of the most complex and conflicted states in the Union.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
