Synopsis
Excerpt from The Southern Platform, or Manual of Southern Sentiment on the Subject of Slavery
To denounce Slavery in one breath. And to inslst upon constitutional guarantees for its maintenance in the next, may seem inconsistent to the minds of ardent anti-slavery men of the present day; but they should recollect that the whole question of State Rights is involved in this one of Slavery, and that to surrender the sovereignty ofthe States in this instance, is to open the way to consolidation And, further, allowing Slavery to be an unmitigated ev1l, as the people of the South generally did at that time, they Justly regarded themselves as better qualified '0 apply the remedy than the people of distant States, who were not particularly interested in the matter. I think that reasonable anti-slavery men, upon cool reflection, Will concede this point.
My object in making this publication is not to produce sectional feeling, but to awaken in Southern minds those noble and generous sentiments of freedom which animated their ancestors.
