Abstract

The subject of patriotism has divided black, as well as white abolitionists. Throughout their writings there are references to the American Revolution and the ideals of the Founding Fathers. Many emphasize the inconsistencies between belief in republican principles and the existence of slavery. This article shows how important these issues were for individuals and groups who were committed to putting an end to slavery.
