Slander Buried Letter From Gen Taylor
A long defense resolves a slander about Gen Taylor owning a Rio Grande plantation and buying slaves. Taylor’s letter to Col Mitchell of Cincinnati denies land in the Rio Grande and any slave purchase, asserting honesty and moral conduct. The piece contrasts Taylor with Gen Cass, accusing Cass of complicity in Seminole War abuses and slave trade, while praising Taylor’s restraint as a soldier in 1833.
