| Summary | "Right and Wrong in Massachusetts" by Maria Weston Chapman is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The text addresses the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts, highlighting the complex social, political, and religious landscapes surrounding slavery during that time. It specifically focuses on the emergence and evolution of the New England Anti-Slavery Society, the challenges faced by activists, and the role of prominent figures such as William Lloyd Garrison in spearheading the abolitionist cause. At the start of the book, the narrative sets the stage for the abolitionist movement, describing the grim reality of slavery's entanglement with various societal institutions in New England. It emphasizes the frustration and contradictions faced by those who advocated for freedom while engaging with a society riddled with indifference and hypocrisy. The opening portion introduces the fervent efforts by abolitionists to mobilize public sentiment, form organizations, and launch publications like "The Liberator" to further their cause, positioning them against significant challenges posed by both pro-slavery factions and religious institutions.
