Slavery and diplomacy in the Mexican War era clash
An 1840s fragmentary broadside debates Slidell's Mexican mission, U S diplomacy, and potential war. It quotes Mexican and American officials, discusses plenipotentiary powers, and cites Adams, Polk, and Buchanan views. The piece also includes fiery editorials on slavery, President Tyler and national policy, and a pastor's letter defending Christian views on bondage.
