Synopsis

A window into a pivotal 1851 Charleston meeting on Southern rights and unity
This book compiles the proceedings of a July 29, 1851 co-operation gathering in Charleston, South Carolina. It presents the tone, names, and ideas circulating among Southern leaders as they pressed for concerted action in response to federal policy and the looming crisis over slavery and state sovereignty.

- Read the resolutions that frame the debate on federal power, state rights, and the possibility of a Southern Confederacy
- See how speakers and attendees framed cooperation with other slave-holding states and the idea of preventing Northern aggression
- Learn about the exchange of letters and public addresses that accompanied the meeting, including remarks by notable figures
- Get a sense of the rhetorical climate and the political stakes facing South Carolina at the dawn of the sectional era

Ideal for readers of Civil War–era politics, Southern history, and primary-source collections seeking context for secession debates and state-level responses to national policy.
