This mid nineteenth-century, abolitionist tract, distributed by
the Sunday School Union, uses actual life stories about slave children
separated from their parents or mistreated by their masters to appeal
to the sympathies of free children. Vivid illustrations help to
reinforce the message that black children should have the same rights
as white children, and that holding humans as property is "a sin
against God."
