Book Description
Excerpt from The Doctrine of Non-Intervention With Slavery in the Territories From the time of the development of the Abolition movement until the beginning of the Civil War nearly three decades later, the American nation was agitated by the dis cussion of the slavery question. During the latter half of this period, beginning with the annexation of Texas in 1845, slavery was the dominant political issue. Over it the nation became sectionalized and the issue was resolved into a strug gle between the two sections for political and industrial su premacy. The possession, first of the prospective Mexican acquisitions, later of the unorganized portion of the Louisiana Purchase, was the prize for which they strove, the South to extend its system of slave labor to these regions, the North to restrain that system within existing limits and dedicate the future Territories and States to freedom.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1860 edition. Excerpt: ...the time by southern men--Fratt of Maryland, Badger of North Carolina, and others--for voting against the Chase amendment. If those who cited this amendment, and my votes upon it, against me, had read the debato as well as the amendment itself, they would have found that it proved precisely the reverse of that for which it was cited against me. The amendment offered by my colleague, in 1856, to the Toomns bill, and my vote against it, have been cited as evidence that it was not the intention or the understanding of any of us, when the Kansas-Nebraska bill passed, to allow the people to act on this question. I will ask that the Trumnull amendment be also read. The bill to which that amendment was offered was a bill known as the Toomns bill, to authorize the people of Kansas to form a constitution and come into the Union as a State. It was not offered as an amendment to a territorial bill, but to a State bill; and, as an amendment to a State bill, was fixing a construction to a territorial bill which was to cease to operate by the admission of a State under the bill which we were then passing. Mr. PUGH read, as follows: --"And be it further enacted, That the provision in the act 'to organize the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska.' whicll declares it to be 'the true intent and meaning of said act not to legislate slavery into any Territory or State, or to exclude it therofrolu; but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domesiic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States, ' was intended to and does confer upon or leave to the people of the TtrriUn-y of Kansas full pinner at any time Vtrough its Territorial Legislature to exclude slavery from said Territory, or to...
