An excellent and rather rare biography of influential Massachusetts Baptist, Jacob Eaton [1771-1859. Includes detailed accounts of the Revival of 1820, early Baptist work in New England, and of his engagement with the subject of slavery and abolition: 

America bears the dreadful blot of Slavery on the fair escutcheon of our Republic; an institution so at variance with the litter of our Declaration of Independence, the spirit of our Constitution, and the genius of our government, that it's continuation grows increasingly intolerable the longer he lived. He reasoned against it, prayed against it, voted against it, protested against it, and seemed in Scripture phrase that he "could not away with it." He gave his sympathy and and made his house an inn for the oppressed.
