Promoting the abolitionists' cause...



Item # 700259

December 04, 1844

EMANCIPATOR & WEEKLY CHRONICLE, Boston, Dec. 4, 1844  

* Rare anti-slavery publication
* Abolition movement - free slaves


One of the less common anti-slavery newspapers with content as you might suspect. 
This abolitionist newspaper was first published in New York City and by this time in Boston. It was founded as the official newspaper of the American Anti-Slavery Society, and from 1840 to 1850 it was published by the Liberty Party.
The Liberty Party was an early advocate of the abolitionist cause and it broke away from the American Anti-Slavery Society to advocate the view that the Constitution was an anti-slavery document.
Four pages, nice condition.
