EMANCIPATOR AND FREE AMERICAN, Boston, July 6, 1843

• Rare anti-slavery publication
• Abolition movement - free slaves
• About 18 years prior to the Civil War

As the title would suggest, this is an anti-slavery themed newspaper, and a great name for a newspaper with this focus.
Page 2 has a political notice supporting "For President, James G. Birney" for the Liberty ticket, created by abolitionists who believed in political action to further antislavery goals. It existed only from 1840-1848.
The content is mostly anti-slavery reports from various conventions, meetings, and societies, plus a variety of anti-slavery articles as shown in the photos.
Four pages, very nice condition.

Background: The Emancipator and Free American was a vital political organ for the 19th-century abolitionist movement, functioning as both an ideological mouthpiece for the Liberty Party and an essential communications hub across New England. By documenting detailed proceedings, resolutions, and speeches from regional anti-slavery conventions alongside militant editorial essays, the newspaper systematically unified scattered local societies, provided activists with rigorous arguments against the "Slave Power," and organized northern voters around political candidates dedicated to immediate emancipation.
