Book Slavery and Politics in the Early American Republic

Download or read book Slavery and Politics in the Early American Republic written by Matthew Mason and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-01-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giving close consideration to previously neglected debates, Matthew Mason challenges the common contention that slavery held little political significance in America until the Missouri Crisis of 1819. Mason demonstrates that slavery and politics were enmeshed in the creation of the nation, and in fact there was never a time between the Revolution and the Civil War in which slavery went uncontested. The American Revolution set in motion the split between slave states and free states, but Mason explains that the divide took on greater importance in the early nineteenth century. He examines the partisan and geopolitical uses of slavery, the conflicts between free states and their slaveholding neighbors, and the political impact of African Americans across the country. Offering a full picture of the politics of slavery in the crucial years of the early republic, Mason demonstrates that partisans and patriots, slave and free--and not just abolitionists and advocates of slavery--should be considered important players in the politics of slavery in the United States.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Smyth, on the Restriction of Slavery in Missouri: Delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States, January 28, 1820 It has been said, (0) that in Virginia free persons elect a member of the House of Representatives, and that in a northern state free persons elect a mem ber. Let us state the facr. A member from Vermont represents persons only; a member from Virginia represents more than persons. In forming a con stitution for a state, it may be proper that a given number of free persons in one part of the state should have as much political power as an equal number in any other part of the same state but, in forming a constitution for a confederacy of states, each should exercise a share of power, and bear a share of public burdens, proportioned to their respective ability. The ability of a state may be fairly estimated by its capacity for labor - the source of wealth. Lf men only were enumerated, there might be some reason for dropping a portion of the number of the slaves; yet even that is doubtful, as many of the freemen are idle, and belong to the unproductive class, whereas the men slaves are generally productive labor ers: but why should five women or five children, who are unproductive, and have no political rights, be count ed five, in proportioning the number of representatives, while five negro men, productive laborers, are counted only three? A concession was indeed made in the con vention in proportioning the representatives among the states; but it seems to me that the southern states made it, in agreeing to count only three-fifths of the slaves.

Barbour, of Virginia, on the Restriction of Slavery in Missouri How has it happened, that these doctrines have slept till this moment? Where were they at the adoption of the constitution, in which slavery is recognized, &thcpr0per ty guaranteed by an express clause And shall we, the mere creatures of that instrument, presume to question its authority To every other sanction imposed by our situation, is the solemn oaththat we, will support it. Where are the consciences of gentlemen who hold this language? But, they assure us, that they do' not mean to touch this property in the old states. 'nhat, this eternal, and, as they say, immutable principle, consecrated by this fa mous instrument, and in support of which we have ap pealed to God, is to have no obligatory force on the very parties who made it but attaches instantly you cruss the Mississippi! What kind ofethics is this, that is bound ed by latitude and longitudeu-which is inoperative on the left, but is omnipotent on the right bank ofa river? Such doctrines are well calculated to excite our solicitude; for, although the gentlemen, who now hold it, are sincere in their declarations, and mean to content themselves with a triumph in this controversy, what security have we, that others will not apply it to the south generally i' This, sir, is no longer matter of speculation; you have heard the doctrine contended for already, not at cross roads, or in the city taverns, but in the legislative hall of a state. When it shall be resorted to by faction, who can pretend to prescribe its limits! Every page of history is full of melancholy proofs of the feebleness of that security, which reposes upon the moderation of the ambitious and designing. The means are always made to yield to the end. I, therefore, heard the doctrine with unmixed regret. I fear it is the beginning of new counsels, whose disas trous effects no one can foresee.

Book Speech of Mr Cook of Illinois on the Restriction of Slavery in Missouri

Download or read book Speech of Mr Cook of Illinois on the Restriction of Slavery in Missouri written by Daniel Pope Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Cook, of Illinois, on the Restriction of Slavery in Missouri: Delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States, February 4, 1820 Mr. Chairman, gives rise to a particular interest, superadded to the common interest felt by the people of Illinois. Thus situated, I feel it my bounden duty to give the amendment my support, and shall give that situation as an excuse for my venturing to trespass upon the attention of the committee, by taking a share in this debate. But, Mr. Chairman, before I, engage in the examination of those great questions which are involved in this amendment, I must beg the indulgence of the committee while I attend to some remarks which have fallen from gentlemen in the course of this discussion. It has been remarked as frequently as gentlemen have been heard in the opposition, that they are sworn to support the constitution; and it has been further said by a gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Randolph, ) that those who support the amendment are striving to enter the temple of the constitution at the hour of midnight, to violate its sanctuary. It is further said by a gentleman from Massachusetts, (Mr. Holmes, ) that they are striving for power, and are paving the way for some master juggler, behind the scene, to ride into the Chief Magistracy of the nation. [Here Mr. Holmes interrupted Mr. Cook, and observed, that he had said, that he believed there was a party who had conjured up this hobby, playing a deep game, and who, he believed, intended to try to turn this measure to their advantage, and ultimately to secure to their leader the Presidential chair. But that, from that party he had expressly excepted the gentlemen of this committee.] Without having any recollection of the exception How spoken of by the gentleman, continued Mr. C. I must say, that the explanation has made the insinuation, which I before considered a direct atttack upon the integrity of those with whom I am acting on this occasion, no less unpalatable than it was before. That there has been a hobby conjured up out of doors, and by urging it that we are striving for power, and that a master juggler at the head of that party, behind the scene, expects to turn that power, if attained, to his advantage, is, to my mind, leaving the imputation as strong in fact, though not so in expression, as I originally understood it. Sir, if I were to look through this committee for one to suspect of being under the influence of such motives as have been insinuated by the honorable member, there is no m.an on whom that suspicion would sooner fix itself than the gentleman who has just interrupted me. And I would further remark that I, as well as gentlemen in the opposition, have sworn to support the constitution; and while I will say to them "act in pursuance of your honest convictions," allow me also to do the same.
