Summary: "Charles Sumner: his complete works, volume 05 (of 20)" by Charles Sumner is a historical collection of speeches and writings from the prominent abolitionist and senator, compiled during the mid-19th century. This volume particularly focuses on the moral and political arguments against slavery, documenting Sumner's impassioned calls for justice, liberty, and ethical governance in a nation grappling with the deeply entrenched institution of slavery. As a key figure in the fight for abolition, Sumner’s essays and addresses reveal not only his philosophy but also the broader socio-political climate of the time. The opening of this volume presents an address by Sumner, delivered before a large audience in New York in 1855, consisting of powerful rhetoric discussing the necessity, practicability, and dignity of the antislavery cause. He reflects on the transformation of public sentiment regarding slavery from its past oppression to a burgeoning movement for freedom, emphasizing the moral obligation to end the injustice. Sumner points out the legal and social dynamics of slavery while advocating for a unified front among the North to combat the tyranny of the slave system and its impact on both enslaved individuals and society at large. Through this address, he lays the groundwork for a compelling argument that resonates with the urgency and ethical imperatives of his time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
