Ticket, "Anti-Slavery Bazaar," 1854-1855
Beginning in the 1830s, some people began to speak out against slavery. Most of these "abolitionists" were white Northerners who had never actually come in contact with enslaved people. The American Anti-Slavery Society hosted annual Anti-Slavery Bazaars -- large fundraising fairs to raise money for abolitionist activities. This Bazaar was held in Boston, Massachusetts. |
