| Summary | "Charles Sumner: his complete works, volume 07 (of 20)" by Charles Sumner is a historical account composed in the mid-19th century. This volume presents a collection of speeches and writings by Sumner, a prominent abolitionist and U.S. senator, centered around his staunch opposition to slavery and advocacy for civil rights. The work likely spans critical moments leading up to the Civil War, highlighting the political tensions of the time. The opening of this volume introduces letters and speeches made by Sumner in 1860, addressing the moral and constitutional arguments against slavery. He expresses his unwavering condemnation of the Fugitive Slave Act, calls for public opinion to render it ineffective, and desires to reinforce the dignity of human rights through education and moral governance.
