Description

Throughout the Civil War era, no other white American spoke more powerfully against slavery and for the ideals of racial democracy than did Wendell Phillips. Nationally famous as “abolition’s golden trumpet,” Phillips was the North’s so much widely hailed public lecturer, even if he espoused ideas so much considered deeply threatening — the abolition of slavery, equality among races and classes, and girls’s rights. James Brewer Stewart’s look at resolves this seeming paradox by showing how Phillips came to possess such odd rhetorical gifts, how he used them to form the politics of his times, and the way he rooted them in his upbringing, marriage, and private relationships.
