The passage of the kansas-nebraska Act made clear to the North that the South would accept no limitations for slavery The position of the Southern leaders, in which they had the substantial backing of their constituents, was that slaves were property and that the Constitution, havmg guaranteed the protection of property to all the citizens of the commonwealth, a slaveholder was depnved of his constitutional rights as a Citizen if his control of this portion of his property was in any way inter fered With or restricted The argument in behalf of this extreme Southern claim had been shaped most eloquently and most forcibly by John C Calhoun during the years between 1830 and 1850 The Calhoun opinion was represented a few years later in the Presidential candidacy of John C Breckin ridge The contention of the more extreme of the Northern opponents of Slavery voters, whose spokes men were William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, James G Birney, Owen lovcjoy, and others, was that the Constitution in so far as it recognised slavery (which it did only by implication) was a compact With evil They held that the Fathers had been led into this compact unwittingly and Without full realisation of the responsibilities that they were assuming for the perpetuation of a great wrong They refused to accept the view that later generations of American citizens were to be bound for an indefi nite period by this error of Judgment on the part of the Fathers They proposed to get rid of Slavery.
