This article argues that Maria Stewart is an underappreciated abolitionist, and a worthy exponent of the Black views of the 1830s. Her work is compared with that of David Walker, Charlotte Forten, and Anna Julia Cooper. A focal point of much of her work is her exhortation to the high moral ground—she remains concerned, throughout her career, about the temptations faced by many during the nineteenth century that might lead them to a non-Christian path. As is the case with Charlotte Forten, who frequently moved for more formal education, Stewart worked ceaselessly to impel Black Americans to a worthy and virtuous life.

玛丽亚·斯图尔特：废除死刑的黑人声音

本文认为玛丽亚·斯图尔特是一位被低估的废奴主义者，是 1830 年代黑人观点的有价值的代表。她的作品可与大卫·沃克、夏洛特·福滕和安娜·朱莉娅·库珀的作品进行比较。她大部分工作的一个焦点是她对崇高道德立场的劝勉——在她的整个职业生涯中，她一直担心 19 世纪许多人面临的可能导致他们走上非基督教道路的诱惑。与夏洛特·福滕 (Charlotte Forten) 的情况一样，她经常搬家接受更正规的教育，斯图尔特不断努力促使美国黑人过上有价值和有道德的生活。
