Book Description
Violent mobs, racial unrest, attacks on the press--it's the fall of 1835 and the streets of Boston are filled with bankers, merchants and other "gentlemen of property and standing" angered by an emergent antislavery movement. They break up a women's abolitionist meeting and seize newspaper publisher William Lloyd Garrison. While city leaders stand by silently, a small group of women had the courage to speak out. Author Josh Cutler tells the story of the Gentlemen's Mob through the eyes of four key participants: antislavery reformer Maria Chapman; pioneering schoolteacher Susan Paul; the city's establishment mayor, Theodore Lyman; and Wendell Phillips, a young attorney who wanders out of his office to watch the spectacle. The day's events forever changed the course of the abolitionist movement.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Boston Riot, July 14, 1863: A Plain Statement of Facts State requisition, the mob followed them to Cooper Street, which up to this moment had been quiet. Upon the passage of the troops into the armory, and the closing of the armory doors, the street was left full of noisy, purposeless, men, wo men and children, without any leading spirit or object. At this point, again, had His Honor the Mayor, or any civil mag istrate, been present, and given the Police orders, they would have cleared the street upon the instant. But I regret to say again His Honor the Mayor was not present, nor did any al derman or civil magistrate present himself to act in the prem ises. Every thing seemed at loose ends. 'a few fearless, de termined policemen could have quelled and quieted every ri otous demonstration made up to 8 o'clock. At this time the mob appeared to have no special grievance or object in view no allusions to the hardships of' the draft were made by them no wrongs were complained of no special acts of violence were proposed no concert of action was had; the number of full grown men was small and not one in twenty probably were liable to the draft nor do I think they knew one had taken place two thirds of them up to this time being women and children but like all masses brought together without any definitiye aim, they surged to and fro like the waves of the ocean. They seemed to be prompted more by a love of fun than a desire for serious mischief. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Before the war, Bostonians were bitterly divided between those who supported the Union and those opposed to its endorsement of slavery. The Fugitive Slave Act brought the horrors of slavery close to home and led many to join the abolitionists. March to war with Boston’s brave soldiers, including the grandson of Patriot Paul Revere and the Fighting Irish. The all-black Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Regiment battled against both slavery and discrimination, while Boston’s women fought tirelessly against slavery and for their own right to be full citizens of the Union.
