博客來This volume contains the ＂Address to the People of the United States＂ alongside the proceedings and resolutions from the Pro-Slavery Convention of Missouri, convened in Lexington in July 1855. It offers a detailed snapshot of the pro-slavery arguments and sentiments prevalent in Missouri during a critical period leading up to the Civil War.
The address presents a robust defense of slavery, articulating the economic, social, and moral justifications offered by its proponents. The resolutions capture the specific concerns and goals of the pro-slavery movement within Missouri, shedding light on the political and social dynamics of the era. This work provides valuable primary source material for understanding the complex and contentious debates surrounding slavery in the antebellum United States.
