Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the political climate surrounding slavery in the United States, primarily focusing on the decades leading up to the Civil War through the lens of the Congressional Record. The author, a politician himself, was alarmed by the absence of any reliable history of slavery as it existed in his time, and so he turned to the official record of Congressional debates to fill this gap. His work is thus a unique contribution to the historical record, as it captures not only the political machinations of the time but also the opinions and sentiments of the major players in the slavery debate. The book begins with a brief history of slavery in the United States, starting with its introduction during the colonial period. The author then examines the debates over slavery that took place in Congress leading up to the Civil War. He highlights the efforts of abolitionists to end slavery and the bitter opposition to these efforts by pro-slavery forces. The book also discusses the numerous compromises and concessions that were made in an attempt to resolve the slavery issue, including the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Compromise of 1850. The author concludes by arguing that the Civil War was ultimately the result of the failure of these compromises. He also emphasizes the role that slavery played in shaping the political and social landscape of the United States, arguing that its legacy continues to impact the nation today.
