2 Prominent examples of this trend include Sinha, Manisha, The Slave's Cause: A History of Abolition (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2016)Google Scholar; and McDaniel, W. Caleb, The Problem of Democracy in the Age of Slavery: Garrisonian Abolitionists and Transatlantic Reform (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 2013)Google Scholar. Adhering more closely to an older depiction of abolitionists as irrational and overzealous is Andrew Delbanco's depiction in Delbanco, , ed., The Abolitionist Imagination (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2013)Google Scholar.
