Raymond James Krohn is an Assistant Professor of History at Boise State University. As a historian of the United States, he specializes in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, slavery and abolition, social movements, and political, intellectual, and cultural history.
Abolitionist Twilights is a must read for intellectual historians of the Civil War era. Krohn provides an in depth analysis of the conceptual limitations that made white abolitionists problematic allies in the years following the war. His book also provides context in the longer narrative of allyship and its shortcomings in the quest for African-American civil rights.---John A.
