Five Hundred Thousand Strokes for Freedom is a collection of anti-slavery tracts compiled by Wilson Armistead and published in 1853. The book contains a series of essays, speeches, and personal narratives from prominent abolitionists of the time, including Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. The tracts cover a range of topics related to the abolitionist movement, including the horrors of slavery, the economic and moral arguments against it, and the efforts of abolitionists to end the practice. The title of the book refers to the estimated number of lashes that a slave might receive during their lifetime, highlighting the brutality and inhumanity of the institution. Five Hundred Thousand Strokes for Freedom was a significant contribution to the anti-slavery movement and helped to raise awareness of the issue both in the United States and abroad.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
