Walker was a free black man living in Boston and making a living peddling used clothes. Walker penned “An Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World,” which was widely read in the black community in the North and was smuggled into the South sewn into sailors’ jackets, creating panic among slave owners. The “Appeal” demanded the immediate abolition of slavery, indicted the United States for violating the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and threatened the violent destruction of the government of slavery.
