Letter From Lawrence County on Territorial Government and Local Self-Government
In this letter dated May 29 1860 Lawrence County urges the Democratic party to favor local self government for territories and reject congressional binding power over slavery. It traces colonial resistance to centralized rule, cites Bacon's Rebellion, Shaftsbury Lock constitution, Stamp Act protests, and Douglas plan for territorial governance as aligned with popular sovereignty and federalism. The writer argues Democrats should back Douglas and Charleston delegates, warning against consolidation and imperial power.
