1.0 out of 5 stars very dry, October 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Antislavery Appeal: American Abolitionism After 1830 (Paperback)
I'm being generous by giving one star. It's a very concise explanation of the motives behind abolitionism after 1830, however, most people would probably rather gouge out their eyes with a spoon or undergo open heart surgery without anesthesia before reading past the first chapter. Much primary material is used, however, an all encompassing thesis is never given. Moreover, Walthers doesn't ever give a history of events that influenced abolitionism such as the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, or the Dred Scott decision. This book is a waste of trees. I reccomend using it for kindling or smoke signals.
