The Union’s Trial by Slavery and State Rights
A long, dense excerpt argues that sectional conflict over slavery endangers the Union. It asserts federal power to regulate territories, defends the Constitution’s supremacy, denounces state legislatures’ attempts to ban slavery, and warns disunion would follow if the South resists federal authority. It invokes Madison, the Fugitive Slave Law, and historical treaties to urge conciliation and preserve the Union.
