Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a record of a trial in which 40 citizens of Michigan stood accused of burning down a depot, and conspiring to commit other acts of violence and property destruction against the Michigan Central Railroad Company. The alleged crimes occurred after the State of Michigan decided to attempt to build and run a railroad across its land, which resulted in a conflict between the railroad and local settlers who felt the railroad's presence was negatively impacting their lives and livelihoods. The author provides a day-by-day account of the trial, the arguments of the prosecution and defense, and the evidence presented to the jury. Through this telling, the author discusses the nature of justice during times of regional strife and explores the question of whether the defendants were truly guilty or were themselves victims of an oppressive political and economic system. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334299575_0
