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.
