Abolition Debate in Congress on Slavery in DC
A minority report by Chas B Calvert and John D Steel argues Congress cannot abolish slavery in the District of Columbia without violating public faith and provoking harm to states. It cites constitutional limits, property rights, and dangers of a broad emancipation program. The piece discusses potential political and social upheaval in slaveholding states and the North with abolition.
