Five Hundred Thousand Strokes For Freedom - Wilson Armistead

""Five Hundred Thousand Strokes For Freedom"" is a collection of anti-slavery tracts that were published in 1853 by the Friends of the Negro. The book contains a series of powerful essays and arguments against the institution of slavery, written by leading abolitionists of the time. The title of the book refers to the estimated number of lashes that a slave might receive during their lifetime, and the book aims to raise awareness of the brutal and inhumane treatment that slaves endured. The tracts cover a wide range of topics, including the economic and moral arguments against slavery, the history of the abolitionist movement, and the experiences of former slaves. The book is a powerful and moving testament to the struggle for freedom and equality, and it remains an important historical document in the fight against racism and oppression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
