Poems on Slavery

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

This volume of poetry by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, first published in 1842, addresses the issue of slavery in America. While some critics felt the poems lacked the necessary intensity for the subject matter, they were widely distributed by the New England Anti-Slavery Association. The collection explores themes of human rights, freedom, and the moral imperative to end the practice of enslavement.
