description 1. Pages 87 and 92 of "Anti-Slavery Sentiment in the South; With Unpublished Letters from John Stuart Mill and Mrs. Stowe" by Stephen D. Weeks, Ph.D. Concerning the existence of abolitionist societies in Northwest Alabama, Weeks writes: "There were in 1832 seven [sic] Colonization Societies in Alabama: The State Society, Courtland, LaGrange, Tuscumbia, Florence, Madison County, Athens, and Lincoln." Note: In February of 1832 the Perry County Colonization Society was established in Marion, in Perry County, Alabama. 2. The title page, copyright page and Page 10 of Alabama historian Walter L. Fleming's 1905 book Civil War and Reconstruction in Alabama, which contains a footnote on p. 10, referencing the 1898 article by Weeks and stating: "In 1832 there were eight emancipation societies in north Alabama: The State Society, Courtland, Lagrange, Tuscumbia, Florence, Madison County, Athens, and Lincoln. Publications, Southern History Association, Vol. II, pp. 92-93."3. A Wednesday, February 28, 1934 Roanoke (AL) Leader article stating that one hundred years ago there were eight abolitionist societies in North Alabama: Athens; Courtland; Florence; LaGrange; Lincoln; Madison County; Tuscumbia; and the State Society. The Leader was probably getting its information from Fleming's 1905 book. A lot more research needs to be done on this subject. For now, these are the only three sources I know of for the existence of abolitionist societies anywhere in Northwest Alabama other than Madison County, which did have one, the Madison County Colonization Society, founded in January of 1830.
