Reviews
Here is a great narrative history of a key moment in the antislavery struggle. Told with narrative flair and a sense of drama, youEL will LOVE Tomek's book on the burning of Pennsylvania Hall. - Richard Newman, Rochester Institute of TechnologyThis is an engaging history of the events surrounding the burning of Philadelphia's Pennsylvania Hall in 1838, only days after the building opened. Tomek uses this act of mob violence (a "Legal Lynching") as a window into the city's debates over abolitionism and race in the 1830s and, more broadly, as a window into how the city's abolitionists were divided in how to pursue their goals. - J. Matthew Gallman, University of FloridaAn excellent book on abolitionism in antebellum Philadelphia. It is ideal for undergraduatesEL [and] tells a powerful story in a brief narrativeEL - Mark Elliott, University of North Carolina at Greensboro

Synopsis
Offering a gripping narrative of one of the most notorious anti-abolition and anti-black riots to take place in the antebellum U.S., Pennsylvania Hall: A 'Legal Lynching' in the Shadow of the Liberty Bell provides a thorough explanation of the complexities of American antislavery and describes a society that was struggling to recreate itself in the wake of emancipation. Part of the Critical Historical Encounters series, Pennsylvania Hall focuses on the differences between gradual and immediate emancipation and the complexities of "immediatism." After describing the tensions between competing abolition camps, author Beverly Tomek examines the way in which the Garrisonian branch of the movement used the press effectively to shape both the contemporary and historical narrative. She demonstrates how Pennsylvania - the birthplace of American abolition - remained relevant to the cause. Illustrating the complexity of the Abolition movement in the North and how internal struggles hampered the movements' goals, Pennsylvania Hall's strong narrative style provides an in-depth analysis while remaining approachable for students., Offering a gripping narrative of one of the most notorious anti-abolition and anti-black riots to take place in the antebellum U.S., Pennsylvania Hall: A 'Legal Lynching' in the Shadow of the Liberty Bell provides a thorough explanation of the complexities of American antislavery and describes a society that was struggling to recreate itself in the wake of emancipation.
