(allow 1-2 weeks for printing) (480) the slaveholding republic analyses how the government of the united states effectively became an agent of the slaveholding interest, despite the fact that the nation had been founded upon ideals potentially hostile to the institution of slavery. the anomaly of a "slaveholding republic" began to unravel with the election of abraham lincoln, the first president not wholly obedient to that ... read more
"Another extraordinary achievement of the late, lamented historian of the US during the early national and antebellum periods. He traces quite clearly how the federal government protected slavery from the adoption of the federal constitution until the Civil War."
"This author is a well noted historian. He argues in this volume that the framers of the Constitution had not intended to make slavery a national institution. Despite this, a Southern dominated Congress managed to provide protection within the national government enabling it to survive. Not all Americans acquiesced in this new understanding, leading to a sectionalization of politics that produced a bloody conflagration. The author argues that the Constitution was neither pro nor anti slavery in its intended but neutral. He also points out that Lincoln believed that the fundamental law had been established upon a cultural assumption that slavery would remain only temporarily in a land. After the Constitution's ratification, however, the government became subservient to Slave holding interests. Lincoln attempted to reverse this, resulting in the Civil War."
