{"product_id":"theodore-weld-crusader-for-freedom","title":"Theodore Weld: Crusader for Freedom","description":"xii, 307 pp. Weld was foundational to the American abolition movement. \" Measured by his influence, Theodore Weld was not only the greatest of the abolitionists; he was also one of the greatest figures of his time.\" Soon after his death in 1895 , the public forgot the man thus described by the Dictionary of American Biography, and even to historians he was little more than a name until a few years ago. It is as if Weld deliberately sought this obscurity; he refused to hold office in any of the antislavery organizations or to speak at their conventions; he avoided city life and worked in country districts; his writings were published anonymously, and he would seldom allow his speeches or his letters from the field to appear in print at all.","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40166592053318,"sku":"2326627","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2326627.jpg?v=1658012626","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/theodore-weld-crusader-for-freedom","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
