Synopsis

Thoughtful critique of a long-running debate about colonization and slavery

This edition presents James Nourse’s critical examination of the Colonization Society, its motives, and its actions in the antislavery era. It weighs whether the society’s approach is practical, just, or necessary, while comparing its claims to contemporary abolition arguments.

• Explore how the author frames the debate over colonization, abolition, and slavery.
• See how evidence from period sources is used to challenge proponents of the society.
• Understand questions about moral responsibility, public policy, and the impact on free people of color.
• Learn about the historical clash between benevolence rhetoric and political interests in the antebellum United States.

Ideal for readers of historical debates on slavery, abolition, and 19th‑century reform movements.
