The Anti-Slavery Alphabet Anti-Slavery Fairs were held throughout the North during the 1840's and 1850's both to raise money and to bring attention to the Anti-Slavery movement. These fairs, organized primarily by women with strong abolitionist sympathies, featured crafts and refreshments and offered for sale a variety of materials relating to the abolitionist cause. Among the more popular items for sale were essays, stories and children's books that forcefully presented the case for abolition. This Abolitionist publication provides for each letter of the alphabet a four line verse on the evils of slavery. Booklet was published anonymously in 1846. Paperback, 20 pages, 4 1/2 x 6 3/4 inches, stapled binding. |
