Controversial in its own time, the \u003ci\u003eAppeal\u003c\/i\u003e surveyed the institution of slavery from historical, political, economic, legal, racial, and moral perspectives and advocated for the immediate emancipation of the enslaved without compensation to their enslavers. By placing American slavery in historical context and demonstrating how slavery impacted--and implicated--Americans of all regions and races, the \u003ci\u003eAppeal\u003c\/i\u003e became a central text for the abolitionist movement that continues to resonate in the present day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This revised and updated edition is enhanced by Carolyn L.
