| Summary | "Abolition a Sedition, by a Northern Man" by Calvin Colton is a political treatise written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the sociopolitical landscape surrounding the abolitionist movement in the United States, analyzing it as a seditious organization threatening the fabric of the nation. Colton articulates arguments against the American Anti-Slavery Society, presenting it as a political faction that operates independently of the government and incites agitation that could lead to civil unrest and the potential dissolution of the union. At the start of the text, Colton introduces arguments regarding the character of the abolitionist movement, describing it as fundamentally at odds with the principles of the U.S. Constitution and as an entity that disrupts social order. He emphasizes the political implications of the movement, positing that its activities represent a form of sedition against the government and a direct threat to the stability of the American Republic. The opening sets the stage for a detailed examination of how the abolition movement's strategies diverge from constitutional processes, labeling it as a usurpation of governmental authority, and it raises concerns about the potential consequences of such dissent on the Union.
