Be sure to include the following in your analysis: Who was David Ruggles and why did he write? Who was his audience? How did he use sexual acts, morality, or laws to criticize slavery? Why were these “licentious”? How did he use these same sexual acts and morals to appeal to northerners? Why did he view northern women as the key to ending slavery?
