Unsung Heroes of the Civil War: White Abolitionists Who Fought Against Slavery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798230360919)

Unsung Heroes of the Civil War: White Abolitionists Who Fought Against Slavery delves deep into the courageous and often overlooked contributions of white abolitionists who risked everything to dismantle the institution of slavery in America. From fiery orators and radical politicians to underground railroad conductors and soldiers fighting alongside African American troops, this book illuminates the lives and legacies of individuals driven by moral conviction and a relentless pursuit of justice.

Spanning from the early anti-slavery movements through the tumultuous years of the Civil War and Reconstruction, the book explores key figures like William Lloyd Garrison, Thaddeus Stevens, Levi Coffin, and many others whose activism shaped America's path toward emancipation. It examines the influence of abolitionist thought on political reforms, the struggles faced by educators and advocates during Reconstruction, and the enduring impact these unsung heroes had on American democracy.
