Excerpt from The Constitution Expounded, Respecting Its Bearing on the Subject of Slavery, Vol. 1 of 2
The general sentiment of the slaveholders from the year 1776 to 1788 was, at that eventful period, Openly and clearly manifested by their pro fessions and by their acts slavery was looked upon by them, not only as a curse bequeathed to them by the British Government, but as a social and political evil which, they keenly felt, it was their duty to mitigate and to restrain as much as possible. The actual views of the slaveholders of the present generation took their rise about the year 1885, when the false and degrading doctrines which an Apostle of a new-fangled creed, Mr. J C. Calhoun of South Carolina, had disseminated throughout the land, began to bear fruit. Those false and degrading doctrines are based on the pre posterons assumption that slavery is a blessing, and on the blasphemous assertion, that perpetual human bondage is an institution of divine origin. Circumstances took place favoring the adoption of these fallacious doc trines by the slaveholding sections of the Union, and they led, by degrees, to the organization of an encroaching slaveocracy. Brief analysis of that slaveocracy, of its spirit, of its tactics and general organization, will be appended in a subsequent number.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed investigation and analysis of the US Constitution and its implications for the slavery question. It provides a historical context for the drafting of the Constitution, highlighting the differing views on slavery held by the framers and the compromises made to accommodate these differences. The author argues that the Constitution includes provisions that allow Congress to prohibit slavery in territories and new states and that the framers intended for slavery to be gradually abolished. The book also examines the rise of the 'slaveocracy' in the mid-19th century and its efforts to expand and protect slavery, which led to a departure from the original intent of the Constitution. The author concludes that the insights provided in this book are essential for understanding the historical and legal complexities of slavery in the United States, and for informing ongoing debates about its legacy and impact.
