| Summary | "Charles Sumner: his complete works, volume 06 (of 20)" by Charles Sumner is a historical compilation written in the mid-19th century. This volume comprises a series of letters and speeches from Sumner, a prominent abolitionist and U.S. Senator, during a critical period in American history leading up to the Civil War. The content primarily revolves around political activism for the Republican Party, support for Kansas as a free state, and appeals against the expansion of slavery. At the start of this volume, we see Sumner addressing significant political issues of the time, mainly through letters to various political committees and individuals. He expresses his sympathy and allegiance to fellow Republicans and strongly advocates for anti-slavery measures concerning the violent strife in Kansas. The opening portion highlights his longing to return to public duties despite enduring health challenges, illustrating his commitment to the antislavery cause and rallying the youth of Massachusetts to support the movement. Throughout these initial letters, he not only articulates his political ideologies but also emphasizes the importance of unity among citizens in the fight for liberty.
