A vivid, documentary look at a tense moment in early American history. This account chronicles the unlawful proceedings and mob violence surrounding a public convention, and the fight to defend constitutional rights and free discussion.
Drawing on testimonies and contemporary reports, it frames not just the events in Utica on October 21, 1835, but the broader clash over liberty, law, and the abolitionist movement. The book presents the perspective of those who stood against intimidation and sought to preserve the right to speak, assemble, and discuss issues of national importance.
Ideal for readers interested in American history, constitutional rights, and the early abolitionist movement.
