Relive the 1798 Philadelphia gathering of abolition societies through the minutes and resolutions that shaped early anti-slavery efforts. This historical record compiles the proceedings, committee reports, and debates of delegates from New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and beyond. It offers a window into how reformers organized, communicated, and pressed for practical actions across the young United States.
This edition presents the documented exchanges, including how delegates considered communications, prepared addresses to allied societies, and plotted next steps for education, legislation, and fundraising. It highlights the tensions between cautious strategy and urgent moral goals, as well as the practical work of recording officer lists, reviewing reports, and planning future conventions.
- See how committees were formed to assess communications from abolition groups and plan coordinated actions.
- Follow the discussions on funding, education for people of color, and the movement’s stance toward slave markets and manumission.
- Track proposals for new funds, public addresses, and the organization of a national convention schedule.
- Understand the evolving role of abolition societies in different states and their efforts to publish and disseminate information.
Ideal for readers of early American reform, abolition history, and archival records that illuminate how collective action took shape in a new nation.
