Advocating for immediate emancipation and rebellion, this influential pamphlet by a free black man challenges enslaved individuals to rise against their oppressors. With increasingly radical revisions, it emphasizes the urgency of liberation and the moral imperative to resist tyranny, even through violence if necessary. The pamphlet's circulation sparked panic among white communities and prompted harsher laws in North Carolina, reflecting the societal fears of the time. Walker's Appeal remains a pivotal document in the history of resistance against slavery.
