| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Captain Charles Stuart was the most international of all abolitionists. Through his patronage of the youthful Theodore Dwight Weld and through his friendships with William Lloyd Garrison, James G. Birney, and Gerrit Smith, he was a significant British influence on the American anti-slavery movement. Yet he had earlier brought to its British counterpart the religious fervor and passionate techniques of American revivalism. The only man to be employed as an agent of national antislavery societies in both countries, he was a major contributor to Anglo-American cooperation in the 1830s and an active voice in disruptions it in the 1840s. Despite the uniquely varied accomplishments, Stuart has remained a relatively unknown figure to most historians. This biography by Anthony J. Barker is the first full-scale treatment ever accorded Stuart. Barker tells us that Stuart was born in Bermuda (not Jamaica, as scholars have traditionally thought) in 1781. Part of his youth was spent in Canada, and he was educated in Ireland. Like his father before him, he became a British army officer, and in 1798, at the age of seventeen, he sailed for India as a cadet officer in the Madras army of the East India Company. In India he first felt the religious fervor that was to be a crucial influence throughout the rest of his life. But his eccentric personality and contentious behavior (traits he was never able to rid himself of) resulted in his being discharged in disgrace form the army in 1812. Stuart spent most of the next seventeen years as a missionary and magistrate in Canada and as a preacher and teacher in upstate New York, where he first me Theodore Weld. Stuart did not become and active abolitionist until the 1830s, when he returned to Britain, where he became involved with the Anti-Slavery Society. He subsequently became a founding member of the Agency Committee, a radical offshoot of the Anti-Slavery Society whos members advocated the immediate rather than gradual abolition of slavery. This period was one of the happiest and most constructive of Stuart's life, one in which he was a key player in the abolitionist crusade in Britain, published numerous pamphlets and lecturing all over the country. With the passage of the Emancipation Act in England, Stuart returned to the United States, where he continued his antislavery zealotry. Although he was welcomed by many, his difficult personality and the intransigence of his stance on the immediate abolition of slavery frequently forced him into conflict with others. The World Anti-Slavery Convention in 1840 marked the beginning of his decline as an effective abolitionist campaigner. Although he would return to Britain for much of the 1840s, his final years were spent in embittered isolation in Canada. Charles Stuart's enigmatic life personified the strengths and weaknesses of the fervent antislavery impulse that emerged in Great Britain and the United States in the late 1820s and early 1830s. Barker examination of that life - which involved years of research among papers and documents scattered over several continents - reveals no only the personal history of a fascinating individual but a host of new insight on many aspects of the trans-Atlantic abolition movement." --From the dusk jacket |
