	The Transformation of American Abolitionism: Fighting Slavery in the Early Republic, by Richard S. Newman. ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Profound changes in American political culture and social life influenced abolition's transformation in the 1820s and early 1830s, from the advent of revivalism and egalitarian political theories to the rising prominence of free fl and female activists.
		Similarly, the Massachusetts Antislavery Society was but one of a whole new generation of immediatist organizations that formed in the early 1830s, particularly in New York City, where fl and white activists formed crucial ties.
		The Pennsylvania Abolition Society noticed this surge of female activism at the close of the decade, when a group of Philadelphia women began renting a PAS building for meetings of female educators and abolitionists.

		Attended by representatives from seven antislavery societies in the state, the convention planned to meet in Winchester in 1828 for what became their second and last convocation.
		The Loudoun Manumission and Emigration Society laid the groundwork with national colonization society officials that culminated in 1829 with the arrival of thirty emigrants from Loudoun County in Norfolk to board the brig Liberia.

	Biography of THEODORE WELD: Crusader for Freedom--chap. 8
		The ladies of the Massachusetts Female Antislavery Society invited him to accept a three-months' commission to lecture as their agent in Boston and eastern Bay State towns; but Weld replied that he was the sole antislavery agent in New York State where at least a dozen lecturers were needed.
		Weld and his men had demonstrated the effectiveness of antislavery lecturers, and the executive committee now determined to increase the number of its paid agents to seventy, the number of the Biblical apostles, and, in accordance with Weld's suggestion, to send them into the country districts.
		Garrison, who came down from Boston, thought the meetings were the most important ever held to advance the antislavery cause, with the exception of the one at which the New England Antislavery Society was organized and that which saw the formation of the American Antislavery Society in Philadelphia.

	History Now. The Historians Perspective
		In the American colonies, even as nominally Christian masters rapaciously and sometimes murderously exploited African slaves, the churches sought not emancipation but conversion of slaves to Christianity and amelioration of their conditions.
		In England, decades of antislavery agitation led Parliament to abolish slavery in the British Empire by 1834.
		Although most white Americans still saw abolition as a threat to the carefully balanced peace between Northerners and Southerners, and between fls and whites, abolitionists had made emancipation a part of the nation’s moral imagination.

		All these writers charge the American Republic with being false to democratic principles in excluding women from the franchise, while but one of them alludes to the fact that in the ancient republics the same "anomaly" was seen.
		The Americans who framed that instrument would have been the last men in the world to assert that women were not the equals of men.
		Now that this stage in the evolution of modern society has been reached, it has become possible for women to demand their share also in the expression of the public opinion that is to rule.

	Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society Records
		The women of the Society responded directly to new war-time realities, and devoted the greater part of their energy to assisting the large numbers of freedmen, escaped slaves and "contrabands" who had come into the Union lines.
		As a society devoted to the immediate abolition of slavery, the antislavery movement forms the context of most of the correspondence in the collection, but the members of the society were individually and collectively involved in the education of freedmen and in other movements, including women's rights.
		The fund-raising efforts of the society can be tracked partly through the list of goods donated for a Festival (1:77), a small collection of ephemera relating to British antislavery societies (1:82), and a list of donations from those British societies (1:28).

	THE CRUSADE FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND THE FORMATIVE ANTECEDENTS OF THE HOLINESS MOVEMENT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)

		The American Antislavery Society wanted Weld to tour the country to enlist twenty agents, as he had done in 1836; and speaking invitations streamed in from various quarters.
		No man who had not embraced antislavery principles should be without it, unless he was afraid of being convinced; and for an abolitionist to be without it, would be like a soldier refusing to use the ammunition provided for him.
		The executive committee of the American Antislavery Society, to whom these inquiries were addressed, commissioned Weld to reply, and authorized him to employ assistants for three months to collect materials in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston.

	Getting the Message Out! Political Culture: Abolitionism
		Attracting both fl and white men and women of intense religious fervor who fumed at the apparent moral complacency of their fellow Americans, modem abolitionism was distinguished from preceding and other contemporarious antislavery groups in two ways.
		Arguably, indeed, while most Northerners rejected abolitionists' call for immediate emancipation because it could provoke southern disunion, it was their insistence on racial equality in the North, as well as the South, that generated white Northerners' vehement opposition to abolitionists and prevented the movement from encompassing more than a tiny minority of Northerners.
		In the mid-1830s, abolitionist societies attempted to flood the South with antislavery propaganda, sent through the mails, only to be blunted by southern state laws and local pressure that forced southern postmasters to destroy these materials rather than distribute them.

	Academic Seminars at the American Antiquarian Society
		Scores of English and American antislavery writers during the late eighteenth century--including Anthony Benezet, Thomas Clarkson, Olaudah Equiano, Samuel Hopkins, John Newton, and James Ramsay, among others--focused on the "iniquity" of the slave trade by employing a language that called attention to the state of Anglo-American manners.
		This paper explores the literature of Anglo-American antislavery in light of that obsession with an unenlightened--or "barbaric"--form of commerce.
		The Society regrets that it is unable to make refunds for dinner after that date.

		In 1837, the same year as the women's antislavery convention, an organization of Congregationalist ministers attacked the Grimkés and their upstart female associates, thundering: "The appropriate duties and influence of woman is in her dependence.
		One Boston newspaper ridiculed that city's female antislavery society as a "parcel of silly women, whose fondness for notoriety has repeatedly led them into scenes of commotion and riots." On several occasions, female abolitionists rushed Northern courthouses and rescued fugitive slaves about to be sent back South.
