Excerpt from Papers Read Before the Lancaster County Historical Society, March 3, 1911, Vol. 15: The Early Abolitionists of Lancaster County; Minutes of March Meeting; No. 3
But to speak more definitely of the various phases of the anti-slavery movement which existed in Lancaster county as it began to crystallize after the passage of the Missouri Compro mise of 1820, I think it might be fairly divided into two general parts: First, The more strenuous and uncomprom ising ones who afterward became known as Garrison Abolitionists, who would admit of no compromise and as serted that immediate and uncondi tional freedom was the right of the slave, without regard to consequences; second, those of various opinions who held slavery to be a social. Moral and political evil, but held that its aboli tion should be worked out by the Stat-es themselves, and through thepowers of the General Government to restrain its further spread and intro duction in the national territories. The latter class might again be properly sub-divided into two classes, namely: Those who would vote for no one but the absolute avowed Free Soil, or Liberty, candidates, and those who still believed in the efficacy of party organization and held on to and co-op crated with the old Whig party until it was entirely absorbed by the slave power, becoming entirely subservient to its behests. Its national platform in 1852 showed practically no distino tion between its utterances and those of the Democratic party on the ques tion of slavery; the result of which was, as known to all men, the tri umphant election of Pierce in that campaign and the over-whelming de feat of General Scott, the conqueror of Mexico, the candidate of the Whig party.
