Great Speech on Slavery and Compromise Bill in Senate
The speaker denounces the Compromise Bill and argues that slavery cannot be restricted by new territories, warning that Texas may extend its laws to New Mexico and California. He cites Virginia's Jefferson and Northwest Territory abolition and laments conquest used to justify exporting slavery to newly acquired lands.
