| Summary | "Facts for the People of the Free States" by William Harned is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This publication emerges in the context of the abolitionist movement, addressing the moral and social issues surrounding slavery in the United States. It aims to inform readers, particularly in the free states, about the harsh realities of slavery and the injustices faced by enslaved individuals. The book presents a compilation of disturbing accounts related to the lives and suffering of enslaved people, including narratives of suicide as a desperate means of escape from brutal treatment, murders of slaves, and discussions on the moral implications of slavery. Harned also critiques the political structures that favored slaveholders, detailing how power dynamics skewed representation and resource distribution between the free and slave states. Through poignant illustrations and legislative analysis, the book emphasizes the necessity for action against the institution of slavery, urging readers to stand in solidarity with the oppressed and challenging the status quo of a society built on injustice.
