The Southern View on Slavery Compromise and Texas Boundary
A Southern proposal warns Congress not to strip Texas of territory and argues the rights of slaveholding states. It urges preservation of the Union, asserts congressional limits on enforcing slavery in new territories, and supports extending the Missouri compromise line to the Pacific while demanding federal protection of slaveholding interests. Delegates are urged to meet in Nashville to push for action after Congress adjourns.
