To Be Silent... Would Be Criminal

The Antislavery Influence And Writings Of Anthony Benezet

BY IRV BRENDLINGER

Brief Description:
Born in 1713 Philadelphia Quaker Anthony Benezet was one of the most significant forces in advancing the cause against slavery and the African slave trade in the eighteenth century. To Be Silent... Would Be Criminal introduces the development of antislavery activity in America and then traces the life of Benezet, examining both his work and influence on individuals. Benezet's correspondence with several influential contemporaries is reproduced here, giving insight into his relationships and his desire to build a viable network to oppose slavery.
