Benjamin Coates And The Colonization Movement In America, 1848-1880

EDITED BY MARGARET HOPE BACON AND EMMA LAPSANSKY

Brief Description:
Benjamin Coates was one of the best-known white supporters of African colonization in 19th century America. A Quaker from Philadelphia, he was committed to helping Black Americans relocate to West Africa. At the heart of the volume is a collection of over 150 recently recovered letters, either written by Coates or addressed to him between 1848 and 1880. Lapsansky and Bacon have provided a far-reaching essay that places them in the context. They led a team of young scholars who annotated the letters. This book provide new insight into the alliances and divisions within the antislavery movement, making it essential reading for every student of black studies or Quaker history.
