Description
This work deals with the study of the meaning of liberty and freedom in 19th-century America. It describes the beliefs of over 20 political philosophers, clergymen and theologians, collectivists, individualists, anarchists, and pro and anti-slavery polemicists in a series of intellectual sketches held together by a common theme: what did the literate and articulate antebellum American mean when he used the words liberty and freedom?
