Review: Emerging Civil War looks at The Creation of a Crusader by David C. Crago
Jan 9th, 2024
Emerging Civil War reviews The Creation of a Crusader: Senator Thomas Morris and the Birth of the Antislavery Movement by David C. Crago.
“Crago’s book fills a void in the understanding of the early, national political leaders of the anti-slavery movement. As he points out, Morris has been overshadowed or ignored in the historiography—much of that due to the disappearance of his personal papers, no known photograph or painting, and the folding of Morris’s ideas into later abolitionist platforms.”—Emerging Civil War
