Fragmented Missouri Slavery Essay and Dog Law Notes
A long, fragmentary 19th century piece discusses Missouri’s slavery stance and the Dred Scott decision, contrasting state and territorial power over slavery, and arguing against its expansion. It includes references to the colonization idea, constitutional limits, and mentions of Kansas and universal rights for citizens. The text shifts to local Wisconsin dog licensing laws, penalties, and administrative provisions, concluding with assorted unrelated notices and anecdotes.
