A Slaveholder Urges Emancipation Debate in Missouri
A Sedalia slaveholder writes to the St. Louis Democrat arguing for a full discussion of gradual emancipation in Missouri. He notes proslavery sentiment among candidates, calls for a state constitutional review, and suggests letting voters decide next August. The piece frames emancipation as essential to reconcile Union aims with Missouri’s future amid Civil War pressures.
