Speech by Seward on Kansas and Free Labor Rivalry
In March Senate debate Secretary Seward discusses the Wilmot Proviso and Popular Sovereignty, tracing a long history of federal intervention in favor of free labor. He details the Missouri Compromise, the creation of Nebraska and Kansas, and the Lecompton controversy, arguing free labor now dominates and Kansas suffered a fraudulent proslavery usurpation.
