History of American Abolitionism: Its Four Great Epochs by Felix Gregory De Fontaine is a comprehensive account of the abolitionist movement in the United States. The book is divided into four sections, each covering a distinct period in the history of abolitionism. The first epoch covers the period from the founding of the American Colonization Society in 1816 to the Nat Turner rebellion in 1831. The second epoch covers the period from the Nat Turner rebellion to the Mexican-American War in 1846. The third epoch covers the period from the Mexican-American War to the Dred Scott decision in 1857. The fourth and final epoch covers the period from the Dred Scott decision to the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861.Throughout the book, De Fontaine provides detailed accounts of the key events and personalities that shaped the abolitionist movement. He discusses the role of prominent figures such as William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, as well as the impact of events such as the Underground Railroad and the Fugitive Slave Act. De Fontaine also explores the various strategies employed by abolitionists, including political activism, direct action, and moral persuasion.Overall, History of American Abolitionism: Its Four Great Epochs is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the abolitionist movement in the United States. It provides a detailed and nuanced account of the movement's development and impact, and sheds light on the complex social and political forces that shaped this pivotal period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
