Summary "The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Omnibus" by the American Anti-Slavery Society is a collection of writings and appeals related to the abolitionist movement, likely produced in the early 19th century. This compilation aims to challenge and dismantle the institution of slavery in the United States through various essays, letters, and narratives that confront the moral and legal justifications of slavery. At the start of this work, the opening piece addresses the American public, emphasizing a perceived crisis regarding civil rights infringed upon by legislators and the societal impacts of the so-called "compact" between Northern and Southern states. It argues that the rights established by the Constitution are under threat from those who maintain the institution of slavery. The text outlines specific injustices, including the suppression of free speech and the right to petition against slavery, highlighting urgent calls for action and solidarity in the fight for emancipation. It sets the stage for the arguments that will further explore the moral implications of slavery, invoking appeals to religious and ethical standards to rally support for the abolitionist cause.
