Description: | The image of an African man kneeling and in chains, raising his hands in supplication was an instantly recognizable icon for the abolitionist cause. It was later adapted to show a kneeling female with words ?Am I not a woman and a sister?? It represents a passive view of Africans, which suited the abolitionist campaign to generate sympathy based on helping the downtrodden.
