Excerpt from Fettered Freedom: Civil Liberties and the Slavery Controversy, 1830-1860The beginnings of immediate emancipation, more popu larly referred to simply as abolition, may be dated approxi mately from the appearance of William Lloyd Garrison's Liberator in I stand, said Garrison in his first number for the immediate enfranchisement of our slave population. The idea of immediate freedom for the slave had its origin in British antislavery circles in the 'twenties, and was adopted by Garrison soon after. As interpreted by him, immediatism in volved no really ordered or practical plan; It consisted of free ing Negro slaves, and that only. The various economic, social, and political problems incidental to their emancipation never caught his interest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Napoleonic Wars were followed by an almost unprecedented century of political stability. A World Restored analyses the alliances formed and treaties signed by the world's leaders during the years 1812 to 1822, focussing on the personalities of the two main negotiators: Viscount Castlereagh, the British foreign secretary, and Prince von Metter- nich, his Austrian counterpart. Henry Kissinger explains how the turbulent relationship between these two men, the differing concerns of their respective countries and the changing nature of diplomacy all influenced the final shape of the peace. Originally published in 1957.
