      ab: The article presents an exploration into the history of militant white abolitionism in the antebellum United States through the life and work of George Thompson. Details are given describing several significant features of Thompson's life, including his aggressive political activity in the United States and West Africa during the mid-19th century, his clinical insanity, and his criminal conviction for smuggling slaves from Missouri. Analysis is given concerning Thompson's writings and activities, particularly in Africa, noting their thematic focus on empathy for blacks and their influence on other abolitionists of his era.
