Abstract
Indiana's foremost white spokesman for the slave, George Washington Julian, carried his antislavery campaign through much of the Midwest in 1852, a particularly difficult year for advocates of Negro rights. An analysis of Julian's canvass suggests that his speechmaking advanced antislavery in several important ways, and that his successes rested upon rhetorical strategies and a motivation to speak which grew in part from his inter‐related views of rhetoric, God, and reform.
