Buchanan Manifesto and Democratic Ideals Split Over Slavery
President Buchanan through his Washington Constitution issues a Democratic manifesto aiming to kill Douglas and Squatter Sovereignty followers while uniting the party via a middle ground on Slavery. The document relies on the Dred Scott decision and Cincinnati Platform to justify enforcing slavery, while asserting Congress should not interfere with slavery in states territories or the District. It endorses territorial property in slaves and trusts both people and judiciary to uphold rights against hostile legislation.
