The Slave Power, Its Character, Career, and Probable Designs (Classic Reprint): Being an Attempt to Explain the Real Issues Involved in the American Contest - Couverture souple
Synopsis
The Slave Power reveals how economic interests and political force sustained slavery and shaped America’s destiny.
This rigorous historical study tracks how slavery grew from a regional system into a national force. It argues that the war over slavery was not only about moral questions, but about power, economics, and political strategy. The book frames a long view of how enslaved labor, law, and policy intertwined to mold the nation’s fortunes.
Written for readers seeking clarity on a complex era, it connects economic conditions to social structures and policy decisions. The analysis remains grounded in the era’s events while focusing on how material interests sustained slavery and influenced the path to conflict.
- How economic incentives shaped the spread and defense of slavery.
- The structure and effects of slave society on politics and daily life.
- The rise of a political power around slavery and its external and internal strategies.
- Arguments about emancipation, resistance, and the limits of reform within the era’s context.
Ideal for readers of history, political economy, and studies of the antebellum United States.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the topic of slavery's economic and social impact on the development of the American South. The author argues that the US Civil War was fought to preserve slavery's expansion, not to preserve the union. The book contends that the North's unwillingness to tolerate slavery's expansion in new territories was the cause of the war, with secession being the South's response to this threat to their economy and way of life. While the North initially fought to preserve the Union, it is argued that the abolition of slavery became a central aim as the conflict persisted. This book places the development and spread of slavery in the US within the context of its broader economic and social consequences, highlighting the role slavery played in shaping the history and politics of the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
