Macy discusses how the American experience with slavery was deeply intertwined with notions of equality articulated in the Declaration of Independence. The introduction outlines the historical context leading to the Emancipation Proclamation, illustrating that debates about slavery can be traced back to ancient civilizations. Macy sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the anti-slavery movement's origins, its key advocates such as Benjamin Lundy and William Lloyd Garrison, and the ensuing societal implications as the nation grappled with the moral and political ramifications of slavery.
