Gen Harrison on Slavery Excerpt Published
The Old Soldier reprints Gen Harrison on slavery to counter abolition claims. In Vincennes two years ago he warned against masked benevolence and dangerous efforts aimed at altering the Union. He warned of consequences that would extend to states and those helped by such schemes. He cited a Ohio convention and questioned if constitutional amendment to abolish slavery could be achieved without debate.
