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.LiteratureAmericaLiteraturesLiterature, Modern19th centuryLiteraturePhilosophyAfrican AmericansCultureHuman rightsWorld LiteratureNorth American LiteratureNineteenth-Century LiteratureLiterary TheoryAfrican American CultureHuman RightsLiterature.AmericaLiteratures.Literature, ModernLiteraturePhilosophy.African Americans.Culture.Human rights.World Literature.North American Literature.Nineteenth-Century Literature.Literary Theory.African American Culture.Human Rights.326/.80973Husband Julie1792147MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963211003321Antislavery Discourse and Nineteenth-Century American Literature4330340UNINA
