1855. Does Slavery Christianize the Negro? Higginson, Thomas Wenthworth. American Anti-Slavery Society. Anti-Slavery Tracts No. 4, circa 1855.New York: American Anti-Slavery Society. Anti-Slavery Tracts No. 4, circa 1855. in original wrappers, 8 pages. 4.75" x 7.5" inches. Higginson was a Unitarian minister and dedicated abolitionist. The text in this tract was originally delivered as a sermon in Worcester, Massachusetts in June, 1854. Supported by repots from Southern ministers, Higginson argues in this Antislavery pamphlet, that despite slaveowners' claims of benevolence and the alleged civilizing, moral influence of slavery upon the enslaved, slaves in the US in fact receive no sound religious instruction from their masters and exist in a state of "moral degradation" and are "the heathen of this Christian country." Spot of foxing on front cover, light handling wear but very good condition overall.

Description
San Francisco: Organized Labor Print, 1901. Softcover. First edition thus; 3 3/4 x 5 1/2; pp. [3], 4, [1], 6-30, [1]; textured brown wraps; back corners a bit brittle; few small nicks to spine; faint foxing to first and last pages only, else clean; very good or better. An apparently unrecorded (not in OCLC, not in the trade) constitution of one of the most powerful central bodies of its kind in the country. Patrick Henry McCarthy (known as "Pinhead" McCarthy and Mayor of San Francisco from 1910 to 1912) helped organize the Building Trades' Council in 1896 and became its President in 1898. It had begun with the joining of seven unions - carpenters, painters, decorators, etc. and by 1901 the Council had grown to thirty-six component unions with over 15,000 members. Right by McCarthy's side and an integral part of shaping the Council was Olaf Anders Tveitmoe (who was on the Committee on Revision of the current book), a Norwegian-American, who had moved to San Francisco in 1898 and in a short period of time had risen to a high position in the labor movement. Tveitmoe was also the editor of 'Organized Labor' - an eight-page, five-column weekly which came out on Saturdays. His commitment was evident in his first issue editorial in which he promised "a newspaper of which no Union member would be ashamed. The paper would at all times advance the interests of labor and seek to harmonize differences between existing unions. He declared that the cause of labor went far beyond shorter hours and increased wages; it included educated children, happy homes, prosperous communities, good government, and the development of a higher esteem for the working class."
