Abolitionists played an important role during the 1850’s and 1860’s. Several Newspapers wrote articles explaining their role during this era. The New Times, Baltimore Sun and the New York Daily Times are just a few of these Newspaper distributors that wrote articles chronicling these events. I discussed an article by the New York Daily Times which writes about Wendell Phillips and their beliefs against slavery. The other article is by Ira Berlin. Dr. Berlin articles explains the affect the Emancipation Proclamation had on slavery. He writes “a document whose grand title promised so much but those bland words delivered so little”.[1]
