An Appeal in Favor of That Class…
1833 CE
A Massachusetts native, Lydia Maria Child is sometimes said to have been the first white person to have written a book in support of this policy.
The book helps convert William Ellery Channing, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, and Charles Sumner to the antislavery cause.
Editor from 1826 of “Juvenile Miscellany”, the first American children’s periodical, Child had published The Frugal Housewife, a popular guide to household thrift, in 1829; it has found a home audience eager to economize.
