This book comprehensively examines the status of slavery under the United States Constitution. The author argues that slavery has no constitutional basis and could have been abolished earlier had certain measures been pursued. Congress had the power to end the domestic slave trade and restrict slavery to the states where it already existed. The Missouri Compromise, which allowed slavery to expand into new territories, was a major setback. However, the author asserts that even after this compromise, slavery remained unconstitutional and that the courts could have played a role in its abolition. The book provides a detailed analysis of the debates and legal arguments surrounding slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War. It sheds light on the complex interplay between constitutional principles, political expediency, and the struggle for human rights.
