Description

1855 RARE Military Prison Life SLAVERY Abolition Missouri Underground Railroad

George Thompson was a 19th-century British abolitionist who was one of the most important anti-slavery proponents in the United Kingdom. His lecture tour carried him to the United States where he was met with staunch opposition. However, with the support of other abolitionists Alanson Work and James Burr, Thompson began aiding slaves across the Mississippi River in Missouri. This act put him in prison for twelve years – an event that would yield a book entitled ‘Military Prison Life and Reflections’. This work is a foundational account of brutal prison life in the Midwest and the corruption of the justice system when it came to slavery in America.
