This compilation focuses on the life and contributions of Charles Sumner, a prominent abolitionist and political leader, and addresses significant themes such as liberty, justice, and the moral imperatives surrounding war and slavery. The collection is notable for chronicling the evolution of Sumner's ideas and his unwavering commitment to civil rights. The opening of this volume presents an introduction by Hon. George Frisbie Hoar, articulating the importance of Sumner's speeches as pivotal contributions to American history and the abolitionist movement. It emphasizes how Sumner's orations provided a moral and intellectual foundation for the fight against slavery, advocating for the principles of freedom and equality. From the start, it prepares the reader to engage with a series of Sumner's significant addresses, beginning with "The True Grandeur of Nations," where he critiques the concept of honor derived from war, setting the stage for discussions on national integrity and justice in relation to international conflicts. Through this introduction, readers gain insight into Sumner's character, his scholarly upbringing, and his transformation into a leading voice for social justice in 19th-century America.
