Abolition agitation linked to British meddling and slave crisis
The speech argues that England seeks to destabilize the Union by promoting abolition, aided by American abolitionists and unfamiliar church pressure. It cites a London World Convention and warns that northern agitation could trigger emancipation and civil conflict, harming both slave and free populations. The speaker denounces abolitionists as foreign agents and warns of ruinous economic and social consequences.
