Book excerpt: Excerpt from Is It Expedient to Introduce Slavery Into Kansas?: A Tract for the Times Slavery has never flourished in Missouri as it has done further south. With an aggregate population of there were in 1850 only slaves, consti tuting about one-eighth of the population. It is evident, therefore, that it is an exotic in Missouri. It is one of those noxious plants which will spring up in every soil, but it belongs to the south properly, and lingers and decays in northern latitudes. Kansas, being higher and colder, can never foster slavery to the extent that Missouri does, and hence a still smaller proportion of her citizens will ever be able to avail themselves of its supposed advantages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Agitation of Slavery: Who Commenced, and Who Can End It!! Buchanan and Fillmore Compared From the Record He has an intense, often an hereditary contempt for the people. The Doughface has been a Federalist, a Whig, and a Know-Xothing never a Democrat. The Doughface has a high opinion of his own merits, and expects upon the success of bia northern allies at the very least to be called to the head of a department or a foreign mission. He would, perhaps, compromise for an anonymous interest in a lucrative contract It is he who prepares ambiguous declarations for northern candidates, which commit them to nothing in favor of the south, and do not impair their strength at the north. He tells you that, as some politicians never keep a pledge, it is wholly unnecessary to exact one from any. He will tell you that his confidential assurance of the intentions of his candidate is more worthy of credence than the recorded evidence of fidelity presented by his competitor. When General Taylor refused to say that he would veto a bill prohibiting the establishment of slavery in the federal Territories, thel defended him as perfectly sound, because General Taylor owned several cotton plantations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Struggle for Freedom in Kansas The expediency of our electing ofiicers under the Lecompton constitution was obvious to a large majority of the Free State men of Kansas, and was well sup ported by The Herald of Freedom, The Leavenworth Times, and other influential newspapers'of our party. That policy was also urged on us by many influential friends of free State in and out of Con gress - by my father, the'hon. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, who wrote my elder brother, Hugh Ewing, then in partner ship with me in the practice of law at Leavenworth, most strongly insisting that the Free State men in Kansas, who were known to have a large majority in the Territory, should elect the State Officers and members of the legislature under the Lecompton constitution, and thus take possession of the government and control it, so as to make Kansas a free State - just as in the then recent October election the Free State men chose the legislature and took possession of the territorial govern ment. The Hon. Salmon P. Chase, then governor of Ohio, wrote an urgent letter to Governor Robinson, advising the vot ing policy, which, as well as the letter from my father, was read to the convem tion with great effect. The Hon. Samuel F. Vinton, an eminent member of the House of Representatives from Ohio, wrote a similar letter to me, which I read to the convention, in which he said that if the Free State men should stubbornly and fanatically refuse to adopt this pol icy, he for one would abandon the strug gle in Congress in our behalf.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Robinson and the Kansas Epoch Slavery was originally a merciful institution, sug gested by the earlier promptings of humanity. In stead of giving up prisoners of war to indiscriminate slaughter, it gradually became the practice of victors to make slaves of them, and there were no exceptions to the rule because of race, color or social conditions. Our Pilgrim Fathers made slaves of Indians. They made a slave of the son of the Indian King Philip, and sold him in the Barbadoes, where he died under the lash of the slave-driver. White men were sold intoslavery in this country for debt. They were called redemptioners. Lord Altham, of Ireland, was thus sold at Philadelphia in 1728, and during twelve years he was bought and sold by different masters in Lan caster County of that State. It is only a little more than a hundred years since the corsairs of the Bar bary States raided the seas, and captured hundreds of American sailors, whom they sold into slavery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kansas: The Prelude to the War for the Union The limits prescribed for this volume have not permitted a minutely detailed account of the Kansas struggle. I have endeavored to exhibit the logic and spirit of the first actual national conflict between slaveholding and free-labor im migrants, rather than to attempt an exhaustive collection of facts. Newspaper files, public doc uments, books, manuscripts that promised to throw light upon the subject have been carefully examined. A large amount of material has been derived from personal intercourse with men of all parties who helped to make the history of Kansas. If my version of it should not prove to be colored with the dyes in vogue twenty five years ago, I beg the reader to bear in mind that there is too much truth in what Theodore Parker said in 1856, at the anniversary of the anti-slavery Society, concerning the Kansas busi.

Douglas, of Illinois, Against the Admission of Kansas Under the Lecompton Constitution Mr. President: I know not that my strength is sufficient to eu able me to present to-night the views which I should like to submit upon the question now under consideration. My sickness for the last two weeks has deprived me of the pleasure of listening to the debates, and of an opportunity of reading the speeches that have been made hence I shall not be able to perform the duty which might naturally have been expected of me, of replying to any criticisms that may have been presented upon my course, or upon my speeches, or upon my re port. I must content myself with presenting my views upon the questions that are naturally brought up by the bill under considera tion. I trust, however, that I may be pardoned for referring briefly, in the first instance, to my course upon the slavery question during the period that I have had a seat in the two Houses of Congress. When I entered Congress, in 1843, I found upon the statute-book the evidence of a policy to adjust the slavery question and avoid sec tional agitation by a geographical line drawn across the continent, separating free territory from slave territory. That policy had its origin at the beginning of this government, and had prevailed up to that time. In 1787, while the convention was in session, forming the Constitution of the United States, the Congress of the Confederation adopted the ordinance of 1787, prohibiting slavery in all the territory northwest of the Ohio river. The first Congress that assembled under the Constitution extended all the provisions of that ordinance, with the exception of the clause prohibiting slavery, to the territory south of that river, thus making the Ohio river the dividing line between free territory and slave territory, free labor and slave labor.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln and Confederates written by Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and Confederates: Jefferson Davis (2) No living man at the time held so gloriously that combined record of conspicuous service on the battlefield and in statesmanship. Nowhere is Mr. Strode neutral. Anybody who opposed Davis had to be wrong. For example, Henry Foote the only foe of Davis in Mississippi politics whom Mr. Strode even deigns to men tion was nothing but a shrill-tongued, noisy, unscrupulous little opportunist. Stephen A. Douglas whom Davis fought valiantly in the Senate from 1857 to 1860 - was a ruthless and callous schemer, ruled by a consuming desire to be President. Not in precise words, but in substantive effect, Mr. Strode endorses Davis' own estimate of Douglas as a little grog-drinking, electioneering Demagogue. Only once - in relating the story of the kansas-nebraska Act - does Mr. Strode suggest that Davis' conduct may have deserved disapproval. Even then he says guardedly: Davis may have been deceived and he may have acted unwisely in persuading Franklin Pierce to approve the measure. In his introduction and in his notes on sources, Mr. Strode ascribes much im portance to the wealth of new material that he has found. Yet he never describes the exact nature or scope - of this new material. Rather, he says simply that it includes five boxes of intimate family papers in the possession of Jefferson hayes-davis, a banker in Colorado Springs, and that he has used numerous Davis letters and mementoes in the hands of other Davis kinsmen (whom he names). He has dispensed with footnotes on the ground that they interrupt the rhythm of reading. The book is marred by numerous small errors of fact, but they are errors of a kind that the specialist in history, rather than the general reader, will object to. Its greatest weakness lies in its treatment of politics. Because Davis' chief importance in the years before 1861 lay in the field of politics, this weakness is fundamental. Mr. Strode tells us almost nothing about the political alignments in Mississippi that elected Davis once to the House of Representatives (in 1845) and twice to the Senate (in 1848 and Who were Davis' supporters and political friends in Mississippi? How did he gain their support? Why did they send him to Washington, and what did they expect of him there? Who opposed him, and on what grounds? Mr. Strode does not say. For example, he does not even give the name or the political party of the man whom Davis defeated for Congress in 1845; nor does he mention a single issue or assertion made in that campaign. Similarly, his account of national politics in the l84o's and 18so's is often 'sketchy and superficial, or oversimplified. Although he quotes liberally from some of Davis' best known speeches in the Senate, he has not bothered to explain what was actually going on in the Senate while Davis was a member. What were the issues and measures in which Davis was most deeply interested? What did he do to forward them? What, besides the anti-slavery agitation, did he fight? What were his relationships with his fellow senators? How much influence did he have in the Senate? Mr. Strode gives us but little light on these questions.
