| Summary |
"Report of the Twentieth National Anti-Slavery Bazaar" by A. W. Weston is a historical account published in the mid-19th century. The book documents the annual Anti-Slavery Bazaar held in Boston, aimed at raising funds to support the American Anti-Slavery Society and its efforts to abolish slavery in the United States. The report reflects the serious tone and collective struggles of those involved in the abolitionist movement during a time marked by heightened tension surrounding the issue of slavery. In this report, Weston details the various contributions received from both local and international supporters, highlighting the diverse array of donated goods and expressions of solidarity. The bazaar served not only as a fundraising event but also as a platform for public discourse on the morality and urgency of abolishing slavery. Weston recounts the challenges faced during the event, including a devastating storm that affected attendance and fundraising efforts. Ultimately, the report illustrates the resilience of the abolitionist community and emphasizes the importance of unity in the fight against slavery, showcasing both the altruism and determination of individuals dedicated to this noble cause.
