Scope and Contents

William Goodell corresponded with most of the prominent 19th century abolitionists in the United States, often in connection with items published in one or another of the periodicals he edited, such as The Investigator and Principia. Some of the letters are about subscriptions, but many more discuss the key issues debated among the reformers and abolitionists of the 19th century. Goodell was also involved in political conventions, formation of the American Missionary Society, and later the Temperance platform that was represented by presidential candidate James Black.
