Excerpt from State Documents on Federal Relations, Vol. 6: The States and the United States; Slavery and the Union, 1845-1861
Federal Union, and our inflexible determination to adhere to our national constitution, and abide by all its compromises, to the letter and spirit of the same; while with equal unalterable and inflexible purpose, deterred by no threats of disunion, we shall forever oppose any and every measure of compromise, by which any portion of the territory now belonging to, or which may here after be acquired by the United States, shall be given up to, or left unprotected against the encroachments of slavery.
Resolved, That the integrity and permanence of American power on the Pacific Ocean, the increase of our commerce and wealth, the extension of our institutions, and the cause of human freedom on this continent, require the immediate admission of California into this Union, with her present Constitution, and the boundaries therein defined, without any reference to any other question or measure whatever.
Resolved, That inasmuch as the legislation necessary to give effect to the clause of the Constitution of the United States, relat ing to the delivering up of fugitive slaves, is within the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress, we hold it to be the duty of that body to pass such laws only in regard thereto as will secure to all per sons whose surrender may be claimed, as having escaped from labor or service in another State, the right of having the validity of such claim determined by a jury in the State where such claim shall be made.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of the United States during a turbulent period in its history. The resolutions presented here, adopted by various state legislatures between 1845 and 1861, provide a valuable record of the deep divisions within the nation over the issue of slavery and its expansion into newly acquired territories. The author analyzes these resolutions, situating them within the broader context of the debates over the Wilmot Proviso and the Compromise of 1850. Through this exploration, the book sheds light on the growing sectional tensions that ultimately led to the outbreak of the Civil War. It highlights the struggle for power between the pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions and the attempts to preserve the Union while addressing the moral and political questions surrounding slavery. The resolutions reveal the hardening of positions and the increasing polarization of opinion that characterized this period, ultimately leading to the nation's division.
