Excerpt from Tribune Essays: Leading Articles Contributed to the New York Tribune by Charles T. Congdon
Some members of this class are men of all work ready, at the word of command, to review the most ponderous tome that embodies the latest and least intelligible speculations in German theology or Scotch metaphysics - to report a masquerade-ball, or to chronicle the latest Paris fashions; but the better, if not more numerous, class do that work only (or mainly) for which they are specially qualified, and to which they are, attracted by their studies, or their tastes - often by both.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This collection of essays incisively analyzes the issues and heated debates that defined the slavery controversy of the mid-nineteenth century. Published as public opinion shifted and just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, this timely compendium eloquently exposes the irrationality, cruelty, and political entrenchment that characterized pro-slavery arguments. The author's use of humor and satire provides an accessible and often bitingly sarcastic lens through which to view the era's most consequential arguments. This book offers an essential snapshot of the period, making vivid the attitudes and misconceptions that contributed to the nation's tumultuous divide, and illuminating the human cost of the entrenched racism which pervaded the country at the time.
