Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the long and arduous journey of the slavery debate in the United States, specifically focusing on its most heated battlegrounds: the territories acquired in the Louisiana Purchase and beyond. The author meticulously combs through debates, laws, and resolutions to illuminate the many perspectives on slavery's moral, economic, and political implications. The book also examines the Missouri Compromise of 1820, a pivotal moment in the fight against the expansion of slavery, and delves into the ultimate admission of Texas as a slave state, an act that would ignite the spark that led to the Civil War. By analyzing the arguments of leading figures like James Tallmadge, Henry Clay, and Abraham Lincoln, the author provides deep insight into the complexities of American politics and the bitter divide over slavery that would ultimately shape the nation's destiny.
