Summary: "William Jay and the Constitutional Movement for the Abolition of Slavery" by Bayard Tuckerman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the life and contributions of William Jay, particularly his role in the antislavery movement and the fight against slavery through constitutional means. The book elucidates the challenges faced by abolitionists and the broader political and social context of their efforts. At the start of the book, Tuckerman introduces William Jay as the son of John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the United States, and outlines his early life, education, and burgeoning interest in philanthropy and social justice.
