Standard-Bearers of Equality: America’s First Abolition Movement

byPaul Polgar

Paul Polgar uses Standard-Bearers of Equality to investigate america’s First Abolition Movement through a carefully framed historical account. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and social science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Together, these elements make Standard-Bearers of Equality an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
