Address by R B Rhett on Union and slavery in 1838
A reprint of Hon. R B Rhett’s 1838 letter arguing that the Constitution has proved inadequate to protect Southern slavery and urging amendments or dissolution of the Union. He warns abolitionist pressure, compares North and South interests, and warns that continued conflict risks war, with dire consequences for the Union.
