This original newspaper contains an inside page headline: "EMANCIPATION OF THE BLACKS / At a Meeting of Delegates from the Manumition Society of Tennessee, Held in Greene County, the 19th and 20th of the 11th Month, 1816." The organized antislavery movement emerged in Tennessee after the War of 1812, which initially helped to galvanize its supporters. The Tennessee Manumission Society, the state's first antislavery organization, was founded in 1815 following favorite son Andrew Jackson's victory in New Orleans. The year marked the triumph of a new republicanism as well as a new nationalism, a time for Americans to recommit themselves to the nation's founding ideals. "Freedom is the natural right of all mankind," the Manumission Society's constitution proclaimed, demanding nothing less than for the new nation to live up to the principles expressed in its Declaration of Independence.It seemed like a perfect time for the antislavery societies to start. Over the next decade, the Tennessee Manumission Society established twenty-five branches with over a thousand total members, second in number only to North Carolina. The state led the antislavery press as well. During the Missouri Crisis of 1819-20, an East Tennessee Quaker named Elihu Embree established the nation's first newspaper devoted exclusively to ending slavery. Almost immediately, his Emancipator became the most widely circulated publication in Tennessee and Kentucky and had subscribers in nearly every state of the Union. When Embree died unexpectedly in late 1820, one of his admirers, Benjamin Lundy, took up the cause by moving to Tennessee and establishing The Genius of Universal Emancipation. In 1821, one East Tennessean lauded the state's increased antislavery consciousness. "Is not the veil which avarice and cupidity have drawn around our senses, gradually vanishing?" he asked. "Is not the monster of cruelty beheld more generally in his native form? We hail the increase of this sentiment as the beginning of auspicious consequences both to ourselves and to the unfortunate sons of Africa." Very good condition.
