About this Item
28pp, original printed front wrapper [reinforced spine], stitched, clean text. Good+. The South Carolina Senator reports on "the late stormy session of Congress," which was the occasion for bitter debate on the future of Kansas. The Territory was, thanks to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, in the midst of civil war between Slave State and Free State settlers and their allies, with rival governments, laws, and militia; and fraud and violence perpetrated by both sides. A pro-slavery secessionist, Hammond was convinced of the justice of his cause and ready to "dissolve this union." For "the union of the slaveholders of the South is a principle involving all our rights and all our interests. Let that union be perfect and perpetual." LCP 4540. Sabin 30101n. III Turnbull 255 [Washington edition]. Seller Inventory # 30825
