Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Langdon Cheves, in the Southern Convention: At Nashville, Tennessee, November 14, 1850 We meet on a melancholy occasion. It is to devise the means of defending the Southern States against a great and alarming danger, a danger with which we are not threatened by a foreign foe or a common enemy, but by our fellow-citizens, whom fraternal feelings and fidelity to plighted faith; whom gratitude for great benefits which, more than all other causes, have made them great, wealthy and powerful; should have made our hearty friends, and our devoted allies in all adversity. Instead of which, we find them our most unjust oppressors, our bitter and most unappeasable enemies. Having deprived us, practically, of all power under the common government which bound us together, they are aiming at the subversion of our dearest rights, the destruction of our most valuable property, and the desolation of our country. Our inquiry will, of course, be of Southern rights. Southern wrongs, and Southern dangers. The general rights of the Southern States are those of equal, independent, unabridged sovereignties. Our independent sovereignty was asserted from the beginning of the government, and maintained triumphantly, within a few years after the adoption of the Constitution of the United States. The old federal doctrines, of strong government and constructive powers, were put down. In the South and West, there was but one voice on the subject. Such was the devotion to State independence; such the generous spirit of the people of the South and West, as expressed in the resolutions of Virginia and Kentucky, in 1798;that, had not the dangers then contemplated, though not amounting to a tithe of those by which we are now threatened, been averted at the polls, they would have been met by force. The base idea, of taking "the best we could get," entered into no mind. The only questions were, what were our rights, our whole and unabridged rights, and how should they be maintained. The universal public scorn would have scathed, with the power of the vivid lightning, the dastard who would consent to accept compromises, or talk of taking a fragment of those rights, as "the best we could get." Who would then have dared to propose submission to our equals? Who would then have been mean enough even to deliberate on such degradation? But the noble spirit of that day seems to be extinguished; and, unless it can be roused, you are destined to become "the basest, meanest of mankind." You will suffer the most conspicuous infamy that ever characterized a people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Disunion and Restoration in Tennessee It claimed the constitutional right to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, the forts, arsenals, dock-yards, and other places ceded to the United States within the bounds of the slaveholding States. It proposed a prohibition of the slave-trade between the States, thereby crowding the slaves together, and preventing the exit south until they became unprofitable to such an extent that it would force the owner finally to abandon them in self-defence. It has, by the deliberate legislative enactments of a large majority of the Northern States, openly and flagrantly nullified the clause of the Constitution which provided for the return of fugitive slaves.

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitutional Convention of Tennessee of 1796 On July 31st, 1797, Francis Baily, a young English traveler, then unknown to fame, but afterwards President of the Royal Astronomical Society, while stopping at the town of Nash ville, before starting on his fifteen days' overland journey through the Indian territory to Knoxville, after noting in his journal the recent formation of the State of Tennessee and the fact that the Governor had, in pursuance of the law, called a convention who lately met at Knoxville, (and) formed a Constitution, added, by way of comment, this foot note: All this sounds terrible in England, but is is a matter of course in America, after which digression he continued This Constitution breathes the true. Spirit of republicanism, and is formed much after the same manner as others, with all the improvements which time and experience have pointed out in the Science of legislation. (1) The Constitutional Convention thus referred to was that of 1796. I shall use Mr. Baily's commentaries as the text for the two salient features of that convention upon which it is my purpose to lay especial emphasis: First. The fact that while the holding of such a convention would indeed have been an extraordinary thing in England, with its unwritten constitution, it was, in America, a matter of course, and only one link in an orderly and legal chain of events; and second, that the Constitution thus formed was not in any sense a sudden and spontaneous creation, but was the natural outcome of those experiments in constitution-making with which its. Framers were acquainted, with such improvements as their own experience and the spirit of the times suggested. Taking up then the first of these points, it will be necessary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crisis facing the United States in 1850 was a dramatic prologue to the conflict that came a decade later. The rapid opening of western lands demanded the speedy establishment of local civil administration for these vast regions. Outraged partisans, however, cried of coercion: Southerners saw a threat to the precarious sectional balance, and Northerners feared an extension of slavery. In this definitive study, Holman Hamilton analyzes the complex events of the anxious months from December, 1849, when the Senate debates began, until September, 1850, when Congress passed the measures.
