Item # 693301
July 27, 1843
EMANCIPATOR AND FREE AMERICAN, Boston, July 27, 1843 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 in various states, plus a variety of anti-slavery articles as shown in the photos. Almost two pages--1 and 4--are taken up with a very detailed report from the: "British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society".
Four pages, some stray ink marks and spots, nice condition.
