The African Slave Trade In The United States 1860 Debate
A 1859 editorial mounts a strong indictment of the re opened African slave trade and US lax enforcement. It criticizes Buchanan administration policies, the Democratic party, and calls for a Republican victory in 1860 to end the traffic. It cites naval actions and cases like the Edo incident and Man devrer as evidence of government complicity or failure. The piece contrasts US with English anti slave patrols and urges action by the people.
