Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains proceedings from an 1858 meeting held to mobilize support for Stephen A. Douglas's presidential candidacy. The meeting was held against the backdrop of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which allowed territories to decide whether to allow slavery. The national debate about slavery was coming to a head, and during a time when the pro- and anti-slavery factions were pulling the nation in dangerous directions, Douglas advocated for non-intervention by the federal government, leaving slavery issues to be decided regionally. These ideas were controversial and challenging to the peace of the nation, and the documents collected here provide important insights into the political climate of 1858 and the views of a prominent presidential candidate.
