Fragmented 1864 Debate on Territorial Slavery and Sovereignty
The speaker argues for popular sovereignty in new territories, cites President Buchanan and Governor Walker, and defends slaveholding, while contrasting Northern labor with Southern slavery. He denounces Lecompton moves, laments anti slavery critiques, and warns of civil war consequences if federal power forces a constitution. He critiques Northern wage labor as less permanent than enslaved labor and reflects on regional attitudes toward labor and education.
