    About this ebook

    "Slavery's Passed Away and Other Songs" is a songbook complete with the musical notes. The songs are themed on the abolition of slavery, striking both a somber note as they recount the horrid tales of its ugly past, and a celebratory mood on the bravery of the abolitionists and the subsequent success of their mission.
