      2. I love the way he writes that Garrison would have been irrelevant without Garrisonians like Phillip's and for a long time Douglass. He says abolition was an irrelevant minority movement. Yeah if you also dont count women and blacks in the north?

      There's not a whole lot of disagreement between @ProfMSinha and @CarlPaulus on this, to be honest. Their books - both of which are spectacular & should be read widely - address different elements. But both books take slave insurrectionary threats seriously as movers of politics.

      There is a long-running debate on the relative weight of institutional political reform (Liberty Party, Free Soil Party, Republican Party) v. abolitionist activism (whether free blacks or whites) v. slave resistance/insurrection threat (incl. prospect of Haiti).

      Add in the Civil War Union army, Lincoln Administration and Congress too. I don't think anybody would claim that emancipation would ever succeed without all of these elements in place. The question is which element is more critical at any given time - a contingency question.

      I’ve always found a better way to frame the question as: why did slavery survive Dunmore’s Peoclamation in 1775 and the Revolutionary War but not the Civil War?

      Because abolition was not the war aim of the slaveholding British empire and many black people fought on the Continental side to gain their freedom. I discuss this in #theslavescause

      True. But it wasn’t entirely the Union war aim in 1861 (despite Oakes’s argument...).

      My essential point, & what Bouie's piece tried to write out of the story, is that making abolition a war aim was a choice - an important one in which the character of the president, his party, its ideas, & its voters made a crucial difference. Others chose differently.
