Reviews
This very fine study of Owen Lovejoy develops a deep understanding of a significant antislavery politician and of the Midwestern political culture that he so skillfully represented. It is a biography offers rich rewards to historians who study the problem of slavery, the abolitionist movement, and the politics of the sectional conflict. --James Brewer Stewart, author of Holy Warriors: The Abolitionists and American Slavery Owen Lovejoy was that rarest of beings--a dedicated abolitionist and a savvy politician. Having already published an indispensable collection of Lovejoy's most important writings, the Moores have now given us the most thorough biography of Lovejoy to date. Grounded in deep research and an unparalleled familiarity with the ins and outs of Illinois politics, the Moores demonstrate Lovejoy's crucial role in the creation of the 'coalition for equality' that eventually brought slavery down. --James Oakes, author of The Scorpions Sting: Antislavery and the Coming of the Civil War
