 BENJAMIN TAPPAN AND THE ANTISLAVERY DEMOCRACY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Benjamin Tappan of Ohio, the subject of this paper, exemplifies the problem.
Tappan's peculiar posture on slavery stemmed from a distinctive outlook on the world, shared in large measure by his friends Silas Wright and Marcus Morton.
Their antipodal views of religion and politics involved Benjamin and Lewis Tappan in a searching debate over the proper means of advancing their shared goals of freedom and democracy - a debate which elucidated the ideological core of Democratic antislavery.

Tappan was known for his public spirit and philanthropy.
Tappan was also president of the American anti-slavery society, to which he contributed $1,000 a month for several years, but he withdrew in 1840 on account of the aggressive spirit that many members manifested toward the churches and the Union.

 LEWIS TAPPAN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Tappan brothers were hanged in effigy, threatened, sent hangman's nooses in the mail, and even presented with the severed ear of a slave.
The 20-acre Tappan home-lot was located on King Street in the neighborhood of today's Trumbull Rd. The children performed house-and-farm chores but also reveled in swimming, kite-flying, ball games, fishing, berrying, coasting, sleighing, skating, and tending to their many pets.
Children had to remain inside until sundown when at last, as Lewis Tappan recalled in later life, they burst forth "to make the welkin ring with their yells and noisy merriment." In her old age, Sarah Tappan regretted there had not been more books in the house for her flock to read on Sunday.
