James Drummond MacGregor (1759-1830) was a Presbyterian minister in Pictou, Nova Scotia, who became the first published abolitionist in Canada through his A Letter to a Clergyman Urging Him to Set Free a Black Girl He Held in Slavery (1788). This work is not only regarded as the first of its kind in Canada but also as one of the most brilliant pieces of anti-slavery literature in the Americas.
