Husband shows how the images of families split apart by slavery, circulated primarily by women leaders, proved to be the most powerful weapon in the antislavery cultural campaign and ultimately turned the nation against slavery. She also reveals the ways in which the sentimental narratives and icons that constituted the "family protection campaign" powerfully influenced Americans sense of the role of government, gender, and race in industrializing America. Chapters examine the writings of ardent abolitionists such as Frederick Douglass, non-activist sympathizers, and those actively hostile to but deeply immersed in antislavery activism including Nathaniel Hawthorne.Literature   America—LiteraturesLiterature, Modern—19th centuryLiterature—PhilosophyAfrican AmericansSocial justiceHuman rightsPostcolonial/World Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/838000North American Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/834000Nineteenth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/821000Literary Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/812000African American Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411020Social Justice, Equality and Human Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070Literature   .America—Literatures.Literature, Modern—19th century.Literature—Philosophy.African Americans.Social justice.Human rights.Postcolonial/World Literature.North American Literature.Nineteenth-Century Literature.Literary Theory.African American Culture.Social Justice, Equality and Human Rights.326/.80973810.9358Husband Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1579838BOOK9910792130503321Antislavery Discourse and Nineteenth-Century American Literature3860214UNINA
