The Slavery Debate in 19th Century America Review
Source: Product DescriptionSlavery is an issue that the United States has had to deal with since the early British colonies. As Frederick Douglass remarked in 1850, "The first spot poisoned by its leprous presence, was a small plantation in Virginia. The slaves, at that time, numbered only twenty. They now have increased to the frightful number of three million." The moral, cultural, economic and political impact of slavery in the United States is profound in its magnitude. Slavery shaped the way our nation was formed in everything from political decisions regarding territory to legal recognition and rights of the nation's inhabitants. This book ventures to better understand the thinking behind both pro-slavery and abolitionists in the period before the American Civil War.
