The abolitionist renaissance and the coming of the Civil War
Although abolitionists never enjoyed widespread popularity in the United States, they found that northerners were more interested in their critiques of slavery during the 1850s. “The abolitionist renaissance and the coming of the Civil War” explains how the passage of a stronger fugitive slave law, which turned white citizens into would-be slave catchers, raised new questions about the slave power and allowed abolitionist arguments to resonate mo…
The rise of black abolitionism and global antislavery struggles
As a new century loomed, black activists pushed abolition forward across the Atlantic world. The greatest example came in Saint-Domingue, where a slave rebellion in the 1790s compelled the French government to issue a broad emancipation decree. “The rise of black abolitionism and global antislavery struggles” explains how a more assertive brand of abolitionism also developed in the United States, as free black communities rebuked American statesm…
Abolitionism
The abolitionist movement launched the global human rights struggle in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, redefining the meaning of equality throughout the Atlantic world. In the twenty-first century, it remains a touchstone of democratic activism—a timeless example of mobilizing against injustice. Abolitionism: A Very Short Introduction highlights the key people, institutions, themes, and events that shaped the antislavery struggle across …
Love Canal
In the summer of 1978, residents of Love Canal, a suburban development in Niagara Falls, NY, began protesting against the leaking toxic waste dump in their midst-a sixteen-acre site containing 100,000 barrels of chemical waste that anchored their neighborhood. Initially seeking evacuation, area activists soon found that they were engaged in a far larger battle over the meaning of America's industrial past and its environmental future. The Love Ca…

Lucky to be born in Pennsylvania’
This essay examines the creation and meaning of the Pennsylvania anti-slavery borderland that developed in the United States during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Drawing on the voluminous legal files of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society (the world's oldest anti-slavery organisation), as well as recent insights by scholars working on both emancipation and borderlands history in the Atlantic world, I argue that enslaved peopl…

Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
Although Thomas Jefferson made his reputation as a statesman, he was fond of saying that nature had destined him for the sciences. Even during his tumultuous career in politics, Jefferson maintained his involvement in philosophy and the sciences, serving simultaneously as president of the American Philosophical Society and president of the United States, and playing a leading role in the planning and sponsorship of the Lewis and Clark expedition,…
Red Jacket (Segoyewatha) (CA. 1750–1830)
Like most of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, the Seneca nation sided with the British during the American Revolution, a choice that had disastrous consequences for that western New York nation. Red Jacket served primarily as a messenger for the British forces, and had a reputation as a warrior that was, at best, mixed. He was not considered a significant leader until after the war, when his talent as an orator became apparent. Red Ja…
George Catlin (1796–1872)

After painting the portrait of the explorer William Clark, coleader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Catlin accompanied Clark (who now served as Superintendent for Indian Affairs) on a trip west to negotiate treaties with several of the Indian nations. Catlin became fascinated with the In…
Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

Within a few years he had founded his own successful printing business in Philadelphia and had established a national reputation as the author/publisher of Poor Richard's Almanack (1733–1758) and numerous treatises on subjects including politics, science,…
The Transformation of American Abolitionism
How abolitionism evolved from an elite and conservative movement to a radical, grassroots reform cause; Most accounts date the birth of American abolitionism to 1831, when William Lloyd Garrison began publishing his radical antislavery newspaper, The Liberator. In fact, however, the abolition movement had been born with the American Republic. In the decades following the Revolution, abolitionists worked steadily to eliminate slavery and racial in…

The Changing Heart of Abolitionism
The Showman and the Slave
In this story about one of the 19th century's most famous Americans, Benjamin Reiss uses P.T. Barnum's Joice Heth hoax to examine the contours of race relations in the antebellum North. Barnum's first exhibit as a showman, Heth was an elderly enslaved woman who was said to be the 161-year-old former nurse of the infant George Washington. Seizing upon the novelty, the newly emerging commercial press turned her act - and especially her death - into…

Students' Help Seeking during Problem Solving
We investigated the types of help that students request while solving math problems under the tutelage of an adult. One hundred eighteen third and sixth graders, classified as high, medium, and low math achievers and working under one of two academic goal conditions (i.e., either learning or performance goals), were asked to solve inductive reasoning problems. Students were encouraged to request whatever information they felt they needed. We foun…
