A House Divided: The Antebellum Slavery Debates in America, 1776-1865
"The anthology makes available a large body of primary documents, many of them hitherto rare or inaccessible. The texts are expertly chosen and excerpted. Of remarkable variety and scope, they investigate slavery from all angles--pro and con, religious and secular, male and female, scientific and exhortatory, and so on. Their publication is timely and most welcome. The volume also provides an illuminating, superbly comprehensive, insightful, and concise history of the slavery debate."--David S. Reynolds, City University of New York--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
