Fremont Speech at Tremont Temple Urges Immediate Abolition
The Boston audience gave Major General John C. Fremont a grand reception as he urged immediate abolition of slavery as essential to winning the war. He argued loyal Northerners and Western states must sacrifice and rally public opinion to destroy the rebel cause, invoking patriotism, unity, and sacrifice for future generations. Wisconsin volunteer quotas and credit for earlier enlistments were also noted.

Kingdom Coming in the Darkness on the Plantations
A fragmentary dialect poem depicts enslaved people fearing a slaveholder’s departure and imagining a future upheaval. The narrator recalls punishment and control, while longingly imagining freedom. It references overseers, a plan to “lock him up,” and the tension between masters and enslaved communities.
