"In this small but elegant book, Professor Walters approaches the interpretation of antislavery from a fresh vantage point . . . he asks new questions of old sources and comes up with novel and convincing interpretations . . [He] has allowed us to see antislavery as an organic outgrowth of American values and institutions." -Gerda Lerner, New York Historical Society Quarterly "Penetrating insights are sprinkled generously throughout, and monographic studies of abolitionism should take a new turn, now that Walters has shown how to perceive it in terms of symbols, perception, culture in general." -Aileen S. Kraditor, Journal of Southern History "A masterful picture of the milieu in which [antislavery] operated." -Robert V. Sparks, New England Quarterly "[A] wide-ranging, scintillatingly written analysis of abolitionist thought, perception, and feeling.

All [scholars] will thank him for enlivening and enriching the study of pre-Civil War reform." -James brewer Stewart, Wisconsin Magazine of History
