Anti-Slavery Tracts No. 14 Steve Mattern, Daniel Lowe, University of Massachusetts Library and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "How Can I Help to Abolish Slavery?" or, Counsels to the Newly Converted by Maria Weston Chapman is a poignant anti-slavery tract written during the early to mid-19th century. The book serves as a passionate call to action for individuals seeking to contribute to the abolition of slavery, emphasizing moral duty and the transformative power of dedicated activism. It encapsulates the fervor of the abolitionist movement in a time of great social and political upheaval in the United States. In the text, Chapman addresses the newly converted abolitionist, offering guidance on effective methods to combat slavery beyond mere political solutions. She critiques various approaches, such as colonization and political party involvement, arguing that they serve to maintain the status quo rather than challenge the institution of slavery directly. Instead, she advocates for joining the American Anti-Slavery Society and engaging in grassroots efforts that focus on moral persuasion and elevating public consciousness. Through her compelling narrative, Chapman underscores the importance of unwavering commitment to the cause and the necessity of collaborative action to effect meaningful change, ultimately presenting abolition as both a moral imperative and a collective struggle.
