Historical significance
This original publication documents Thomas preaching in Hamilton and publication in Rossville in 1847. Thomas's abolitionist position is documented independently, including his 1844 response to defenses of slavery. The exact content of the 1847 sermons should be checked in the scan before quoting or characterizing individual passages.
Evidence boundary: The publication is not evidence that the sermons were delivered in a particular building or that Thomas participated personally in Underground Railroad transport or concealment.
