Book Description
Excerpt from Views of American Constitutional Law: In Its Bearing Upon American Slavery The main views I have presented will assuredly be condemned, - and in that condemnation I read the sure presage of their prevalence. - They will be condemned, in this selfish and bewildered world, because they are true, and they will ultimately triumph, for the same reason. The popular suffrage may determine whether they shall be received in time to prevent the wreck of the present Federal Government: - but it can no more decide against their final reception than it can decide against the final reception of any other truths of science, physical or moral. There is immortality in Truth. But all lies are doomed. Up to the month of May, 1772, it was as currently believed in England, that the slaves held and sold there, were thus held and sold, legally, and in accordance with the British Constitution, as it is now believed that the slaves held and sold in the United States of America, are thus held and sold, legally, and in accordance with the American Constitution. But the decision of Lord Chief Justice Mansfield, in the case of James Somerset, at the date above mentioned, revolutionized the jurisprudence of the realm, overthrew ancient precedents, reversed venerated decisions - and inscribed beneath the cross of St. George, on the royal flag - "slaves can not breathe in England And what was the secret of that mighty revolution? - It was this.

Views of American Constitutional Law, In It's Bearing Upon American Slavery

Book Description
This Philadelphia judge's work is an essential reference for the library for slavery. It analyzes the law of slavery in each state, including the mid-Atlantic region; and reviews constitutional provisions bearing on slavery. The first edition, issued in 1827, is substantially updated to reflect the sea-change in Southern thinking, which now regarded slavery as a positive good rather than a necessary evil. Issued at the height of the Kansas-Nebraska controversy, its new material on slavery in the Territories, the fugitive slave laws, and slavery's interference with the First Amendment is particularly significant. A shorter, 125-page version was also issued in wrappers in 1856. -- Bookseller.
