This collection of letters between Smith, a prominent abolitionist and reformer, and the editors of the New-York Tribune, provides a window into the fierce debates over slavery and race that dominated American politics in the mid-19th century. Passionate and articulate, Smith argues for the inherent dignity and equality of all people, and offers a powerful critique of the social and economic structures that perpetuate inequality.
