Borrowing from the language of feminism, Manisha Sinha divides The Slave's Case into two waves: the first stretching from the Age of Revolutions through the 1820s, and the second from the late 1820s through the Civil Warr. She provides one example after another of black abolitionists shaping the movement and inspiring white allies.
