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. 606 $aAntislavery movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAbolitionists$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWomen abolitionists$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSocial reformers$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSlavery in literature 606 $aProtest literature, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLabor$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aIndustrialization$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWorking class$zUnited States$xSocial conditions$y19th century 615 0$aAntislavery movements$xHistory 615 0$aAbolitionists$xHistory 615 0$aWomen abolitionists$xHistory 615 0$aSocial reformers$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery in literature. 615 0$aProtest literature, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLabor$xHistory 615 0$aIndustrialization$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aWorking class$xSocial conditions 676 $a326/.80973 700 $aHusband$b Julie$01756770 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809596503321 996 $aAntislavery discourse and nineteenth-century American literature$94194265 997 $aUNINA
