Anti-slavery Society of Meriden et al. is a historical publication likely written in the mid-19th century, specifically during the period leading up to the Civil War. This work serves as a prominent declaration of the abolitionist perspective, discussing the moral and political imperatives for the immediate cessation of slavery in the United States. The text aims to articulate the principles and sentiments of abolitionists to fellow citizens who may misunderstand or oppose their cause. The book presents a thorough argument against slavery by exploring its moral and social implications. It emphasizes that all humans are born free and entitled to liberties that slavery inherently violates. The authors argue that slavery is not only a profound injustice but also a political danger that threatens the integrity of the nation. They advocate for the abolition of slavery through lawful and moral means, including pressuring Congress to act against the institution and encouraging a change in public sentiment. The document outlines their beliefs, the utility of their principles, and the necessity of organized efforts to bring about change, all while challenging prevalent misconceptions and defense of slavery. Throughout, the authors express hope for eventual success and societal healing through abolition.
