Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive exploration of territorial expansion and the politics of slavery, as it was debated in the US Senate in the 1840s and 1850s. The author traces the rise of the Democratic ideology of non-intervention, which saw Congress as an irrelevant force when it came to the issue of slavery in the territories; the premise being that the people inhabiting a territory should decide the issue for themselves. Through detailed analysis of speeches and debates in the Senate, the author demonstrates how this ideology grew in support until the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, and ultimately set the stage for the outbreak of the Civil war. The book is a meticulously researched and informative account of a tumultuous period in American history.
