This volume of Sumner's works includes speeches, letters, and addresses primarily focused on the principles of liberty, equality, and the fight against slavery. Sumner, a prominent abolitionist and senator, addresses pivotal topics during a time of significant social and political upheaval in America. The opening of the volume introduces Sumner's impassioned commitment to the abolition of slavery and the importance of adhering to the Declaration of Independence. He expresses his regret for not being able to attend a public meeting celebrating the Ordinance of Freedom in Ohio, emphasizing the need for the national government to be emancipated from the control of slavery. In subsequent portions, he delivers a speech to the Free-Soil Party convention, reinforcing the idea that their party's core mission aligns with the ideals of freedom and human rights. Sumner's rhetoric is rich with historical references and appeals to moral responsibility, setting the stage for his influential arguments against the injustices of slavery and for the advancement of freedom in America.
