1894017944Buffalo: Charles Wells Moulton 1894. Cloth. Good. Illustrated beige cloth. 107 pp. A work that begins with the long poem "The Story of Portus" a work recalling the life of an enslaved man Portus. While the work reflects on the cruelty of enslaving people transporting them. and selling them it adopts a tone that the enslavers themselves were benevolent and that African-Americans would prefer to remain enslaved as there was nothing for them if they were free. The African-American protagonist Portus lives through the Civil War only to be murdered by the Ku Klux Klan. This work is accompanied by other shorter poetry most reflecting on life and the people of the US South. The poetry is rather conflicted with some celebrating Jefferson Davis while others reflecting on the lives of African-Americans in the South assuming the benefits of spirituality or Christianity in their lives. Overall it would seem much of the poetry whitewashes and glorifies the South while downplaying negative aspects of the region and the legacy of slavery. GOOD condition. Covers foxed and spotted with some soiling toning and minor staining. Text block toned. Owner's inscription on the first endpaper. Charles Wells Moulton unknown

Anthony and Stanton advocated for an amendment giving suffrage to women along with the amendment sponsored by abolitionists that would give Black men the right to vote. Many abolitionists actively discouraged Stanton and Anthony from pursuing their amendment until the amendment enfranchising Black men passed creating a rift in the abolitionist movement as well as the women's suffrage movement. Feeling betrayed by abolitionists and Republicans who initially supported them they established the Revolution with financial help from George Francis Train a Democrat who supported women's rights but was openly racist. As the name indicates The Revolution adopted a combative radical tone with Stanton and others unafraid to take on critics. The paper openly discussed sexual and physical abuse in marriage and advocated better divorce laws that would offer women a way to escape abusive marriages. In 1869 the paper broke with Train who had supplied very little of the funding he initially offered. It published until 1872 struggling to make expenses along the way. This issue with a piece "The Dignity of the Ballot" and an account of the Boston Woman's Suffrage Convention both written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. GOOD condition. Several fold creases present with other general wrinkling. Minor toning and scattered soiling in the interior. Small crease to the lower front page corner. Susan B. Anthony, Proprietor; R.J. Johnson, Publisher unknown
