Five StarsBy William EtterA short but informative book with; at times; surprisingly subtle insights into American slavery during this time period.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good Summary; but very simplistic for a complex subjectBy Fred HarrisA good; brief summary of the period and the movement. However; it is based on secondary sources only; but many of the sources are not listed. This is a good book to get started; however.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Absolutely exceptional history of Boston's Abolitionist movementBy Nicole S.Upon moving to Beacon Hill in 2012; I discovered I was living in a building constructed in 1865; in a neighborhood where the country's abolition movement flourished. Boston is rich with an incredible history and learning the history of the abolitionist movement has made living in this particular neighborhood a pleasure. Courageous souls lived here and their energy lingers; inspiring Bostonians to continue creating progressive change in the 21st century.Boston's Abolitionists; by Kerri Greenridge; provides an exceptional and detailed history of key figures in Boston's abolition movement; the locations where they lived and work; and how the movement progressed through time. The book is easy to read and highly descriptive. I enjoyed it thoroughly and could not recommend a book more highly. Thanks to the author for this exceptional work!
