SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Challenges the common contention that slavery held little political significance in America until the Missouri Crisis of 1819. This book demonstrates that slavery and politics were enmeshed in the creation of the nation, and in fact there was never a time between the Revolution and the Civil War in which slavery went uncontested.
