- W1162887670 abstract "Race and Rights: Fighting Slavery in the Old Northwest. By Dana Elizabeth Weiner. (DeKalb: Northern Illinois University Press, 2013. Pp. xiii, 327, notes, bibliography, index. Cloth, $38.00.)Since Gilbert H. Barnes in 1933 published The Antislavery Impulse 18301844, historians of the American movement have distinguished between abolitionists in the Northeast and their counterparts in the Old Northwest. Dana Elizabeth Weiner does not cite Barnes in her book on northwestern antislavery and anti-prejudice activists (p.12). She does not always agree with Barnes. But she follows in the tradition he began.Weiner's thesis, which she mentions constantly, is uncomplicated: there were, between 1830 and 1870, individuals, newspapers, and speakers in rural areas of the Old Northwest who, despite violent opposition, opposed the existence of slavery in the South and advocated rights in the Northwest. Covering Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and to a lesser degree Michigan, Weiner emphasizes that men and women, both and white, worked in this effort. She periodically describes specific contributions of women, white women, and men.Weiner presents her findings in seven topically organized and highly repetitive chapters. Chapter one serves as an introduction in which Weiner describes the strength of northwestern antagonism to reform, the region's white racism, and its anti-reform violence. She traces antislaveiy efforts in the region to a national reform context, African American militancy, and religion (p.15). She discusses the second American party system during the 1830s and 1840s, and how it worked against abolitionism. She briefly describes the role of the abolitionist Liberty Party. Weiner errs in claiming that only abolitionists associated with William Lloyd Garrison remained committed to immediate abolition of slavery during the 1840s.The next three chapters are so topical that their internal organization disregards chronological order. Chapter two concentrates on abolitionist criticism between 1830 and 1849 of the northwestern states' restrictive black laws and other racially biased laws(p.36). Chapter three deals with of assembly and local organizations, with an emphasis on anti- abolitionist mob attacks on abolitionist meetings. Weiner points out that the mobs remained a factor longer in the Old Northwest than in the Northeast. Chapter four presents similar material regarding northwestern abolitionists and freedom of the press between 1837 and 1844. On several occasions during these years, mobs attacked newspaper presses.In her final three chapters, Weiner moves toward indicating change over time. …" @default.
