Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Report of Adams to his constituents on events in the 25th Congress, intended for newspaper publication. Adams mentions the speech of Vermont Congressman William Slade, which so offended southerners that they walked out. Discusses annexation of Texas, abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, duplicity of administration and Southern slave states as well as the suspension of the rules of the House of Representatives for debate. Beginning on 16 June 1838, Adams filibustered Congress for three weeks, giving up the floor only when Congress adjourned for the summer recess. He spoke continuously against slavery, the gag rule and, most especially, the annexation of Texas. This fragment was previously believed to have been a part of speech delivered in 1842. Congress ended its session on 9 July, but Adams lingered in Washington to write out and publish his extemporaneous address. Adams roused public opinion against annexation to such an extant that the Van Buren administration withdrew support for annexation. Paginated 13 and 14. Draft preface to Adams's pamphlet publishing his filibuster speeches concerning the annexation of Texas. These pages were expanded for the preface of the pamphlet printing (pp. 3-8) of his speeches given June 16-July 7th in the House.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive history of women's antislavery petitions addressed to Congress, Susan Zaeske argues that by petitioning, women not only contributed significantly to the movement to abolish slavery but also made important strides toward securing their own rights and transforming their own political identity. By analyzing the language of women's antislavery petitions, speeches calling women to petition, congressional debates, and public reaction to women's petitions from 1831 to 1865, Zaeske reconstructs and interprets debates over the meaning of female citizenship. At the beginning of their political campaign in 1835 women tended to disavow the political nature of their petitioning, but by the 1840s they routinely asserted women's right to make political demands of their representatives. This rhetorical change, from a tone of humility to one of insistence, reflected an ongoing transformation in the political identity of petition signers, as they came to view themselves not as subjects but as citizens. Having encouraged women's involvement in national politics, women's antislavery petitioning created an appetite for further political participation that spurred countless women after the Civil War and during the first decades of the twentieth century to promote causes such as temperance, anti-lynching laws, and woman suffrage.
