The Problem of Democracy in the Age of Slavery
Garrisonian Abolitionists and Transatlantic Reform
by W. Caleb McdanielWinner of the Merle Curti Award Winner of the SHEAR James Broussard First Book Prize In The Problem of Democracy in the Age of Slavery, W.
Caleb McDaniel sets forth a new interpretation of the Garrisonian abolitionists, stressing their deep ties to reformers and liberal thinkers in Great Britain and Europe.
The group of American reformers known as ?Garrisonians? included, at various times, some of the most significant and familiar figures in the history of the antebellum struggle over slavery: Wendell Phillips, Frederick Douglass, and William Lloyd Garrison himself.
Between 1830 and 1870, American abolitionists led by Garrison developed extensive networks of friendship, correspondence, and intellectual exchange with a wide range of European reformers?Chartists, free trade advocates, Irish nationalists, and European revolutionaries.
Garrison signaled the importance of these ties to his movement with the well-known cosmopolitan motto he printed on every issue of his famous newspaper, The Liberator: ?Our Country is the World?Our Countrymen are All Mankind.
? That motto serves as an impetus for McDaniel's study, which shows that Garrison and his movement must be placed squarely within the context of transatlantic mid-nineteenth-century reform.
Through exposure to contemporary European thinkers?such as Alexis de Tocqueville, Giuseppe Mazzini, and John Stuart Mill?Garrisonian abolitionists came to understand their own movement not only as an effort to mold public opinion about slavery but also as a measure to defend democracy in an Atlantic World still dominated by aristocracy and monarchy.
While convinced that democracy offered the best form of government, Garrisonians recognized that the persistence of slavery in the United States revealed problems with the political system.
They identified the participation of minority agitators as part of the process in a healthy democratic society.
Ultimately, Garrisonians' transatlantic activities reveal their deep patriotism,.
