Part 2 From Volume III of The Works of John Greenleaf Whittier This eBook was produced by David Widger "Anti-Slavery Poems" by John Greenleaf Whittier is a collection of poems written during the mid-19th century, specifically in the context surrounding the abolitionist movement. This collection reflects the ideological struggles and societal issues related to slavery in the United States, focusing on themes of freedom, moral duty, and human rights. Whittier’s work as a poet particularly aligns with the intense debates leading up to the Civil War, making it a significant contribution to American literature on social reform. The poems in this collection address various aspects of anti-slavery sentiment, using powerful imagery and fervent language to convey the urgency of the abolitionist cause. Key pieces, such as "The Branded Hand," honor those who risked their lives to help enslaved individuals escape to freedom, while others, like "To Faneuil Hall," serve as passionate calls to action for citizens to rise against the injustices of slavery. Whittier weaves personal narratives with broader social critiques, encapsulating the emotional weight of injustice and the hope for liberation. This collection not only serves as a historical document of the era's fervent abolitionist spirit but also as inspiring poetry that calls for courage, unity, and moral righteousness in the face of oppression.
