Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Duty of the Free States: Or Remarks Suggested by the Case of the Creole This statement of the case of the Creole is derived chie y from the testimony of the officers and crew ofthe vessel, and very naturally falls under suspicion of being colored, in part, by prejudice and passion. We must hear the other side, and compare all the witnesses, before we can understand the whole case. The main facts, however, cannot be misunderstood. The shipping of the slaves at Norfolk, the rising of a part of their number against the officers of the vessel, the success of the insurrection, the carrying of the vessel into the port of Nassau, and the recognition and treatment of the slaves as free by the British authorities of that place; these material points of the case cannot be questioned. The letter of our government, stating these facts as grounds of complaint against England, is written with much caution, and seems wanting in the tone of earnest ness and confidence which naturally belongs to a good cause. It does not go to the heart of the case. It relies more on the comity of nations, than on principles of justice and natural law. Still, in one respect it is de cided. It protests against, and complains of, the British authorities, and calls loudly for redress. It'maintains, that it was the plain and obvious duty of the authori ties at Nassau to give aid and succor to the officers of the Creole in reducing the slaves to subjection, in re sumlug their voyage with their cargo of men as well as of tobacco, and in bringing the insurgents to trial in this country. It maintains, that the claims of the American masters to their slaves existed, and were in force in the British port, and that these claims ought to have been acknowledged and sustained by the British magistrate. The plain inference is, that the government of the United States is bound to spread a shield over American slavery abroad as well as at home. Such is the letter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duty of the Free States, Vol. 2 I insist on this, because the feeling of individual re sponsibility is very much lost in consequence of the excessive deference of the private man to the govern ment under which he lives. On the subject of slavery in particular, the responsibility both at the North and South is shifted very much from the individual to the State. The private conscience is merged in the public. What the government determines, the multitude of men are apt to think right. We do not exercise our moral judgment, because it has been forestalled by the consti tution and by the laws. We are members of a com munity, and this relation triumphs over all others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Dred Scott Case written by Don Edward Fehrenbacher and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1979, The Dred Scott Case is a masterful examination of the most famous example of judicial failure--the case referred to as "the most frequently overturned decision in history."On March 6, 1857, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney delivered the Supreme Court's decision against Dred Scott, a slave who maintained he had been emancipated as a result of having lived with his master in the free state of Illinois and in federal territory where slavery was forbidden by the Missouri Compromise. The decision did much more than resolve the fate of an elderly black man and his family: Dred Scott v. Sanford was the first instance in which the Supreme Court invalidated a major piece of federal legislation. The decision declared that Congress had no power to prohibit slavery in the federal territories, thereby striking a severe blow at the the legitimacy of the emerging Republican party and intensifying the sectional conflict over slavery.This book represents a skillful review of the issues before America on the eve of the Civil War. The first third of the book deals directly with the with the case itself and the Court's decision, while the remainder puts the legal and judicial question of slavery into the broadest possible American context. Fehrenbacher discusses the legal bases of slavery, the debate over the Constitution, and the dispute over slavery and continental expansion. He also considers the immediate and long-range consequences of the decision.
