Summary: "Some Recollections of Our Antislavery Conflict" by Samuel J. May is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a personal memoir of the antislavery movement, detailing various events, individuals, and reflections from May's perspective as an abolitionist. It seeks to capture the fervor and complexity of the fight against slavery in America, particularly in New England, offering insights into the attitudes and struggles of the time. The opening of the narrative sets the tone for May's recollections as he expresses his motivations and intentions for writing this account. He acknowledges the limitations of his perspective, describing his early experiences and interactions within the abolitionist movement. May reflects on influential figures like William Lloyd Garrison and events such as the resistance against the establishment of schools for colored students, representing broader societal challenges faced during the antislavery struggle. His intention is clear: to document not just the history but the moral implications and the legacy of the fight for liberty, which he believes deserves a permanent place in the collective conscience of future generations.
