Excerpt from The Union, Past and Future: How It Works, and How to Save It
In return for this surrender of her rights, the South inserted into the Consti tution two stipulations in her own favor. The first provided that direct taxes should be apportioned amongst the states in the ratio of their representation. According to this provision, we ought now to pay a little more than one-third of the taxes; we actually pay under the present system over three-fourths. The amount levied from customs since the foundation of the Government has been about 1047 millions of dollars; and had these duties been paid in the ratio which the Constitution indicates as just and proper, the South would have paid 442, and the North 605. But, as we shall see hereafter, the slave States have really paid 798 millions, and the free States only 249. Therefore the South has gained nothing by this stipulation in return for her loss of repte scutation.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the dynamic between the slave states and free states in the United States, examining the economic, political and social consequences of slavery in the decades leading up to the Civil War. The author argues that, despite the abolition of the slave trade in 1808, the institution of slavery continued to exert a profound influence on American society and politics, shaping the nation's economic development, its territorial expansion and its political divisions. The author provides a detailed analysis of the economic and political power wielded by the slave states, arguing that their dominance in the federal government allowed them to shield slavery from abolitionist attacks and to expand its reach into new territories. The author also explores the resistance to slavery in the North, arguing that the abolitionist movement played a significant role in the growing tensions between the slave and free states. Ultimately, the book provides a nuanced and deeply researched exploration of the role of slavery in the American political landscape and suggests that it was a central factor in the outbreak of the Civil War.
