Abstract

The article is devoted to Wendell Phillips, the main figure of the abolition movement in the USA. The author considers Phillips’ ideological contribution to the doctrine of the Union separation. The abolitionists’ radical wing adhered to it until the beginning of the Civil War. The main attention is paid to the main
 provisions of Phillips’ criticism of the US Constitution. The article considers and systemizes his arguments in favor of the abolition of the United States federal structure. He implied disunion to preserve the rights of free states, which was seen as a necessary measure to fight against slavery.
