Downfall of abolition, anti-slavery movement

This illustration in ink, titled "Downfall of abolition," depicts the anti-Garrison riot which occurred in Boston on October 21, 1835. It shows the rioters removing the sign from the Anti-Slavery Office and condemning the abolitionists. They also cheer for the Constitution and celebrate Harrison Gray Otis and Peleg Sprague, with one rioter calling them, "men after my own heart - damn me!"
