Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks of Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, on Introducing His Propositions to Compromise, on the Slavery Question: In the Senate of the United States, January 29, 1850 Mr. Clay rose and said - Mr. President: I hold in my hand a series of resolutions which I desire to submit to the consideration of this body. Taken together, in combination, they propose an amicable arrangement of all questions in controversy between the free and the slave States, growing out of the subject of slavery. It is not my intention, Mr. President, at this time, to enter into a full and elaborate discussion of each of these resolutions, taken separately, or the whole of them combined together, as composing a system of measures; but I desire to present a few observations upon each resolution, with the purpose, chiefly, of exposing it fairly and fully before the Senate and before the country; and I may add, with the indulgence of the Senate, towards the conclusion, some general observations upon the state of the country and the condition of the question to which the resolutions relate. Whether they shall or shall not meet with the approbation and concurrence of the Senate - as I most ardently hope they may; as I most sincerely believe they ought - I trust that at least some portion of the long time which I have devoted, with care and deliberation, to the preparation of these resolutions and to the presentation of this great national scheme of compromise and harmony, will be employed by each Senator before he pronounces against the proposition embraced in these resolutions. The resolutions, sir, are all preceded by a short preamble, to which of course I attach no very great importance. The preamble and first resolution are as follows: It being desirable for the peace, concord, and harmony of the union of these Mates to settle and adjust, amicably all existing questions of controversy between them arising out of the institution of slavery, upon a fair, equitable, and just basis: Therefore, 1st. Resolved, That California, with suitable boundaries, ought, upon her application, to be admitted as one of the States of this Union, without the imposition by Congress of any restriction in respect to the exclusion or introduction of slavery within those boundaries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, in Support of His Propositions to Compromise on the Slavery Question I make no reproaches, sir - none to either portion of the House. I state the tirt; ami I state that fact to draw from it the conclusion, and to express the hope that there will bo an endeavor to check this violence of party. What vicissitude do we not pass through in this short mortal existence of ours! Eight years ago, I took my leave finally, and - as I supposed-forever of this body. At that time I did not conceive of the possibility of being again returned to it; and if any private wishes and particular inclination, and the desire during the short remnant of my days to remain in repose and quiet, could have prevailed, you would never have aeon me, sir, occupying the scat which I now do upon this floor. The Legislature of the State to which I belong, unsolicited by me, chose to designate me to represent them ir. this Senate and Have come here, in obedience to a nemo of tem duty, with no personal objects - no private views now or hereafter to gratify. I know, sir, the jealousies fears, and apprehensions which arc engendered by the spirit of party to which I bine referred i and if there be uny in my hearing now-if there be in or out of this Capitol - anyone who is running the race for honor, and for elevation - for higher honor, for higher elevation, than that which he may enjoy - I beg him to believe that I at least vref never jostle him in the pursuit of these honors or that elevation. I beg him to be persuaded that, if my wishes prevail, my name shall never be used in competition with lib. I beg leave to assure him, that when my services are terminated in this body-and Z hope that before the expiration of my present term they may be-my mission, so far a* respects the public affairs of this world and upon earth, is closed, and closed, if my wishes prevail, forever. But, it is impossible for us to be blind to the facts which are daily transpiring before u. It is impossible for us not to perceive that party spirit and future elevation nri more or less in nil our affairs, in all our deliberations. At a moment, when (he White House is itself in danger of conflagration, instead of all hands uniting to extinguish the flames, who are contending about who shall be its next occupant. When a. dreadful crowave has occurred, which threatens inundation and destruction to all around it, wc are contesting and disputing about the profits of the estate which is threatened with total submersion. Mr. President, it is passion, passion-party, party-and intemperance; that is all I dread in the adjustment of the great questions which unhappily at this time divide our distracted Country. At this moment, we have in the legislative bodies of this Capitol, and in the States, twenty-odd furnaces in full blast in generating heat, and passion, and intemperance, and diffusing them throughout the whole extent of this broad land. Two month* ago, all was calm in comparison with tho present moment. All now r? ap-roar, confusion, menace to the existence of the Union and to the happiness and safety of this people. I implore Senators-I entreat them by all that they expect hereafter, at*? by all that is dear to them here below, to repress the ardor of these passions-to look at their country at this crisis-to listen to the voice of reason, not as it shall be attempted to be uttered by me, for I am not so presumptuous as to indulge the hope, that anything I can say shall deserve the attention I have desired; but to listen to their own reason, their own judgment, their own good sense, in determining what is best to be done for our country in the actual posture in which we find it. To this great object have ray efforts been directed during this whole season. I have cut myself off from all tho usual enjoyment of social fife. I have confined ray self almost exclusively, with very few exceptions, lo my own ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originating with the birth of the nation itself, in many respects, the story of the domestic slave trade is also the story of the early United States. While an external traffic in slaves had always been present, following the American Revolution this was replaced by a far more vibrant internal trade. Most importantly, an interregional commerce in slaves developed that turned human property into one of the most valuable forms of investment in the country, second only to land. In fact, this form of property became so valuable that when threatened with its ultimate extinction in 1860, southern slave owners believed they had little alternative but to leave the Union. Therefore, while the interregional trade produced great wealth for many people, and the nation, it also helped to tear the country apart. The domestic slave trade likewise played a fundamental role in antebellum American society. Led by professional traders, who greatly resembled northern entrepreneurs, this traffic was a central component in the market revolution of the early nineteenth century. In addition, the development of an extensive local trade meant that the domestic trade, in all its configurations, was a prominent feature in southern life. Yet, this indispensable part of the slave system also raised many troubling questions. For those outside the South, it affected their impression of both the region and the new nation. For slaveholders, it proved to be the most difficult part of their institution to defend. And for those who found themselves commodities in this trade, it was something that needed to be resisted at all costs. Carry Me Back restores the domestic slave trade to the prominent place that it deserves in early American history, exposing the many complexities of southern slavery and antebellum American life.
