Judge Slack on Douglas and territorial law on slavery
In a review of Judge Douglas, the text states that the Constitution does not itself carry slavery into the Territories but treats slavery as a legal status depending on the place of origin. It argues that rights persist unless a conflicting local law exists, with property in slaves remaining with the owner wherever no local law prohibits it.
