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 $aLiterature 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aAfrican Americans 606 $aCulture 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aWorld Literature 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aAfrican American Culture 606 $aHuman Rights 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aAfrican Americans. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 14$aWorld Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aAfrican American Culture. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 676 $a326/.80973 700 $aHusband$b Julie$01792147 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963211003321 996 $aAntislavery Discourse and Nineteenth-Century American Literature$94330340 997 $aUNINA
