Henry
B. Stanton endeavored for three decades to awaken a nation to a realization
of the horrendous nature of the institution of human slavery. He labored
in the interest of the oppressed black race until the conscience of
a nation was sufficiently aroused to resist the extension of the paramount
social evil of the day.
While some
of the leaders of the abolitionist movement, Theodore Weld, James
G. Birney, William Lloyd Garrison, Gerrit Smith, and Wendell Phillips,
are perhaps more familiar names, Henry B. Stanton was one of the most
important leaders of the crusade against slavery.
