A House Divided: The Antebellum Slavery Debates in America, 1776-1865Mason I. Lowance Jr. Princeton University Press, 05 հնս, 2018 թ. - 568 էջ This anthology brings together under one cover the most important abolitionist and--unique to this volume--proslavery documents written in the United States between the American Revolution and the Civil War. It makes accessible to students, scholars, and general readers the breadth of the slavery debate. Including many previously inaccessible documents, A House Divided is a critical and welcome contribution to a literature that includes only a few volumes of antislavery writings and no volumes of proslavery documents in print. |
