African Slavery In America
By Thomas Paine
Published March 8, 1775 in the Pennsylvania Journal and the Weekly Advertiser, this tract was Thomas Paines first published work. It is an example of how Thomas Paine who is famous primarily for his tracts in support of the American Revolution was interested in liberty no matter what the cause or whether it was politically unfavorable. Paine was one of the first abolitionist writers in America and was a founding member of the first anti-slavery society in America. He wanted to abolish slavery at the time of the American Revolution but that was not to be and we would have to wait for another generation.
African Slavery in America stands as a great monument to the abolitionist movement as one of its first and most influential works.
