Summary "Charles Sumner: his complete works, Volume 04 (of 20)" by Charles Sumner is a historical collection written in the late 19th century. This volume encompasses speeches and writings of Charles Sumner, a prominent abolitionist and senator, focusing on his views and advocacy regarding key political issues of his time, notably slavery and civil rights. At the start of this volume, the contents are outlined, revealing a series of speeches delivered by Sumner on various topics such as the legacy of Andrew J. Downing, the necessity of freedom, and the political landscape surrounding the issue of slavery. The opening portion includes a speech where Sumner argues for compensation to Downing's widow, establishing a precedent for valuing contributions of individuals to society. It also teases a later speech made at a Free-Soil Party convention, highlighting Sumner's commitment to freedom and his criticism of existing political parties that supported slavery, setting a tone of moral urgency and political activism that characterizes his work throughout this collection.
