Reviews"A valuable blueprint for teaching the history of abolitionism and the end of slavery. . . . Coming at a moment of activism by modern descendants of the struggle for freedom, the book could not be more timely." - Eric Foner, DeWitt Clinton Professor Emeritus of History, Columbia University Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery "By debunking the false history of lone great men and restoring the role of diverse coalitions of ordinary people working together to make extraordinary change, these lessons provide a factual basis for hope and inspiration amid oppressive circumstances." - Chenjerai Kumanyika, Assistant professor of Journalism and Media Studies, Rutgers University, Co-executive producer and co-host of Gimlet Media's Peabody Award-winning podcast Uncivil

SynopsisTeaching a People's History of Abolition and the Civil War is a collection of 10 classroom-tested lessons on one of the most transformative periods in U.S. history. These lessons encourage students to take a critical look at the popular narrative that centers Abraham Lincoln as the Great Emancipator and ignores the resistance of abolitionists and enslaved people. The collection aims to help students understand how ordinary citizens with ideas that seem radical and idealistic can challenge unjust laws, take action together, pressure politicians to act, and fundamentally change society.
