The History of the Antislavery Cause in State and Nation (1886) by Austin Willey is a record of important events leading to the abolition of slavery in the United States. Willey, an abolitionist in Maine, focuses on the implications of the Missouri Compromise, not just on Maine but on the United States as a whole. Notable topics covered in this work include the framing of the Maine constitution, the annexation of Texas, history of slave trade, and even the details of the Dred Scott case.

This first edition includes all 19 portrait engravings and retains the ‘Go Free’ cover illustration.
