Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a fascinating chapter in the history of the University of North Carolina, exploring the controversy surrounding Professor Benjamin Sherwood Hedrick and his outspoken opposition to the expansion of slavery in the 1850s. The book examines the clash between Hedrick's anti-slavery views and the prevailing pro-slavery sentiment in the South, which was particularly strong in North Carolina. The author meticulously compiles letters, documents, and meeting minutes to paint a vivid picture of the events that unfolded. Hedrickââ â¢s public defense of his support for the Republican presidential candidate, John C. Fremont, sparked outrage and led to intense pressure for his resignation. The book examines the accusations leveled against Hedrick, the reactions of the Universityââ â¢s administration, faculty, and students, and the broader political climate of the time. The book presents a nuanced perspective on the complex issue of slavery in the antebellum South, revealing the economic and social factors that fueled opposition to the institution from within the South itself. The book offers a compelling glimpse into a period when the South was grappling with its own internal divisions while also facing increasing pressure from the abolitionist movement in the North. The book's insights shed light on the tensions that ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War and the fundamental moral and political questions that divided the nation.
