- W1512605883 abstract "Hearts Beating for Liberty: Women Abolitionists in the Old Northwest. By Stacey M. Robertson. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2010. Pp. xiv, 303, notes, bibliography, index. Cloth, $39.95.) Stacey M. Robertson's most recent book provides a concise and significant contribution to the existing literature on abolitionism in the nineteenth-century United States. Robertson's volume is a dynamic addition to a growing body of scholarship that complicates current understandings of the antislavery movement by shifting historians' traditional focus on East Coast abolitionists - from cities such as Philadelphia and Boston - to Midwestern abolitionists - from states such as Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. In order to truly understand antebellum American abolitionism, Robertson compellingly demonstrates, scholars need to study the work of Midwestern abolitionists, which was in many ways fundamentally different from that of antislavery activists on the East Coast. At the center of Robertson's monograph, as the subtitle of her book indicates, are the female abolitionists of the Old Northwest. All too often, Robertson notes, scholars have written about East Coast female abolitionists as though their concerns, issues, and approaches were representative of all female abolitionists during the nineteenth century. This was very far from being the case, however, as Midwestern abolitionists advocated a far more pragmatic strain of abolitionism than their East Coast sisters did, which stressed inclusivity and bridge -building over doctrinaire controversies and ideological in-fighting. During an era in which eastern abolitionists became bitterly divided over issues such as the desirability of political abolitionism, the proper role of women in the antislavery movement, and the significance of churches in the struggle to end slavery, Midwestern abolitionists conscientiously sought (with mixed success) to avoid such ruptures, and to create big tent organizations and events in which all antislavery women - regardless of their own beliefs about what precise form abolitionist activism should take - could participate. Robertson explores how this unique, distinctive strain of inclusive, pragmatic abolitionism played itself out in Midwestern female abolitionists' activism in thematically arranged chapters. She analyzes women's development of female antislavery societies and antislavery fairs, their involvement in the antislavery Liberty Party their participation in the free produce movement, their efforts to help self-emancipated enslaved people to secure their freedom, and their work as lecturers and in the burgeoning women's rights movement. …" @default.
