Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprises various speeches given by renowned South Carolinian statesman and politician James Henry Hammond, who was an ardent proponent and defender of States' rights and free trade. The text begins with a report followed by two speeches delivered by Hammond in 1834 and 1858, and examines the complex and contentious issue of the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, vehemently arguing against the petitions to abolish the practice. Hammond's viewpoints are deeply enmeshed in the prevailing political discourse and tensions of the antebellum period in the United States, particularly the escalating debate over the expansion of slavery and the preservation of the Union. The author grapples with the profound moral and constitutional questions surrounding the institution of slavery, while also considering the economic and social implications of its abolition. Through Hammond's speeches, the book provides valuable insights into the ideological divides and political struggles that shaped the nation's course in the lead-up to the Civil War.
