Theodore Dwight Weld was born in Hampton, Connecticut in 1803. A progressive man, he was a staunch abolitionist and reformer, as well as devoutly religious and involved in the Evangelical church. American Slavery As It Is was published by the American Anti-Slavery Society to bring attention to the violence and injustice of American slavery, including the details of the backbreaking work expected from a slave, diet, housing, clothing, private lives, and many others. It also provided a platform for the voices of those exploited by slavery to be heard. Interestingly, the book also contains some pro-slavery arguements for the sake of refutation by the authors (Weld authored the book alongside his wife, Angelina Grimke and her sister, Sarah Grimke, also abolitionists and advocates for women's suffrage). The book was one of the most impactful and influential works of antislavery of its time, and its message still resounds well over 100 years later.
