As the first college to admit men and women of all races, and with a faculty and community comprised of outspoken abolitionists, Oberlin supported a cadre of activist missionaries devoted to emancipation, even if that was through unconventional methods or via an abandonment of strict ideological consistency. Their philosophy was a colorblind composite of various schools of anti-slavery thought aimed at supporting the best hope of success. This book shifts the focus of generations of antislavery scholarship from the East, and demonstrates that the region's influence was largely responsible for a continuous infusion of radicalism that helped the movement stay true to its most progressive principles
