Book Synopsis Gentlemen of Property and Standing by : Leonard L. Richards
Book excerpt: A generation before the Civil War, riots flared up in many northern cities. In New York, Boston, Utica, and Cincinnati mobs broke up anti-slavery meetings, tormented free blacks, and razed the Negro quarters; and in Illinois, the newspaper editor Elijah Lovejoy was slain. This book examines what motivated these zealous northern anti-abolitionists.
