Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dividing Line Between Federal and Local Authority: Popular Sovereignty in the Territories Mark the ominous words! Virginia tells the King of England in 1772, four years prior to the Declaration of Independence, that his Majesty's American dominions are in danger: Not because of the Stamp duties - not because of the tax on Tea - not because of his at tempts to collect revenue in America! These have since been deem ed sufficient to justify rebellion and revolution. But none of these are referred to by Virginia in her address to the Throne - there being another wrong which, in magnitude and enormity, so far exceeded these and all other causes of complaint that the very existence of his Majesty's American dominions depended upon it! That wrong con sisted in forcing African slavery upon a dependent colony without her consent, and in Opposition to the wishes of her own people! The people of Virginia at that day did not appreciate the force of the argument used by the British merchants, who were engaged in the African slave-trade, and which was afterward indorsed, at least by implication, by the King and his Ministers; that the Colonies were the common property of the Empire - acquired by the com mon blood and treasure - and therefore all British subjects had the right to carry their slaves into the Colonies and hold them in defiance of the local law and in contempt of the wishes and safety of the Colonies.

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Just Supremacy of Congress Over the Territories It is, perhaps, scarcely necessary to say, that this pamphlet was written as an answer to the article by the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, which originally appeared in Harpers' Magazine, entitled "The Dividing Line between Federal and Local Authority; Popular Sovereignty in the Territories;" and which has since been republished in a separate form. Private engagements and other circumstances have delayed the publication of my Essay longer than I had originally intended; but I believe that the subject is not likely to lose its interest. The impersonal style in which it is written is to be accounted for by the fact that it was designed for publication in some periodical work, and it was not convenient to make any change in this respect after I determined to publish it in a pamphlet. I should add, that I have seen no other of Mr. Douglas's writings on this subject than the article to which this pamphlet undertakes to reply; nor have I read the papers written by the Attorney-General, Mr. Black.

This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Just Supremacy of Congress Over the Territories We shall begin what we have to say upon this subject with the free admission, that there are a good many elements Of popularity both in Mr. Douglas's character and in his present position. The public man who presents himself as an advocate for the right of self-government for any people, however they are situated, will always command popular sympathy in this country. But we are not now concerned with Mr. Douglas's chances or means of political success, but with the soundness and correctness of his constitutional Opinions. Whether he is or is not of that order Of men who would rather be right than be President, we do not presume to decide; but we are sure for ourselves, that, having no personal interest in the matter, we would rather be right than be able to prevent him or any other man from reaching the Presidency, if we had the power of all the nominating conventions or of all the voters in the land. It is the purpose of Mr. Douglas's article to maintain, that the people Of a Territory have the right to decide, independently of the will Of Congress, whether the institution Of slavery shall or shall not exist among them while they are in the Territorial condition. On a cursory reading of his paper, we were a little at a loss to determine whether he meant to be understood that this power belongs to the people of a Territory because the organic act bestows upon them general legisla tive power, or, as in the case of Kansas, declares that they shall be free to form their own institutions in their own way; or whether he holds that the people of a Territory are originally free to establish or prohibit slavery without any Congressional declaration or grant of such a power, or even against a Congressional prohibition. But, on a more careful perusal, we find that his argument goes the entire length Of maintaining, that, in reference to what he calls their local concerns and internal polity, the people of a Territory are absolutely sovereign in the same sense in which the people of a State are sovereign. In order to establish what he calls popular sovereignty in the Territories, Mr. Douglas undertakes to define the dividing line between federal and local authority; and he places it, in respect to the Territories, substan tially where it is in respect to the States. He sums up the whole dis cassion in the following principle, that every distinct politicalcommunity, loyal to the Constitution and the Union, is entitled to all the rights, privileges, and immunities of self-government in respect to their local concerns and internal polity, subject only to the Constitution of the United States.

Download or read book The Failure of Popular Sovereignty written by Christopher Childers and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the expanding United States grappled with the question of how to determine the boundaries of slavery, politicians proposed popular sovereignty as a means of entrusting the issue to citizens of new territories. Christopher Childers now uses popular sovereignty as a lens for viewing the radicalization of southern states' rights politics, demonstrating how this misbegotten offspring of slavery and Manifest Destiny, though intended to assuage passions, instead worsened sectional differences, radicalized southerners, and paved the way for secession. In this first major history of popular sovereignty, Childers explores the triangular relationship among the extension of slavery, southern politics, and territorial governance. He shows how, as politicians from North and South redesigned popular sovereignty to lessen sectional tensions and remove slavery from the national political discourse, the doctrine instead made sectional divisions intractable, placed the territorial issue at the center of national politics, and gave voice to an increasingly radical states' rights interpretation of the federal compact. Childers explains how politicians offered the idea of local control over slavery as a way to appease the South-or at least as a compromise that would not offend the states' rights constitutional scruples of southerners. In the end, that strategy backfired by transforming the South into a rigid sectional bloc dedicated to the protection and perpetuation of slavery-a political time bomb that eventually exploded into Civil War. Tracing the doctrine of popular sovereignty back to its roots in the early American republic, Childers describes the dichotomy between believers in local control in the territories and national control as first embodied in the 1787 Northwest Ordinance. Noting that the slavery extension issue had surfaced before but obviously not been resolved, he shows how the debate over this issue played out over time, complicated the relationship between the federal government and the territories, and radicalized sectional politics. He also provides new insight into such topics as Arkansas and Florida statehood, the early phases of California's statehood bid, and the emergence of John C. Calhoun's common property doctrine. Laced with new insights, Childers's study offers a coherent narrative of the formative moments in the slavery debate that have been seen heretofore as discrete events. His work stands at the intersection of political, intellectual, and constitutional history, unfolding the formative moments in the slavery debate to expand our understanding of the peculiar institution in the early republic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Douglas Doctrine of Popular Sovereignty in the Territories: Its Counterpart I do not deny, but am pleased to acknowledge, that the gentleman has evinced varied tact and wariness in his arrangement. He states the position of the Republican Party on the Constitutional power of Congress over the Territories, and of the right and duty of Congress, in the exercise of that power, to prohibit, among other things, slavery therein, in the language of their Convention; he places the doctrine of the National Democracy in the line of irreconcilable opposition thereto, but admits it would be uncandid to deny that there are radical differences of opinion in that party, respecting the powers and duties of Congress, and the rights and immunities of the people of the Territories under the Federal Constitution, (on the subject of Slavery.) He then divides the National Democracy into three segments, upon the proper construction of the constitutional provision touching the powers of Congress over Slavery in the Territories; and after ignoring the interpretation of two of them, he declares himself, as usual, in favor of the following, as the Constitutional doctrine: First: Those who believe that the Constitution of the United States neither establishes nor prohibits Slavery in the States or Territories beyond the power of the people legally to control it, but 'leaves the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States.' Having given his reasoning in antagonism to the interpretation that the Constitution establishes Slavery in the Territories, to be vindicated as some of the National Democracy contend, either by the Territorial Legislature, or, in lack thereof, by Congress, or by the Judiciary, by virtue of Constitutional authority, and independent of any Legislative action whatever, as by some leaders of the Democracy is proclaimed, Mr. Douglas settles down to an array of facts and reasoning in support of his construction of the Constitution. Such is the plan of the treatise; he states and opposes the the conventional views of the Republican party - he wipes away the ultra interpretation of those of the Democracy who maintain that the Constitution creates Slavery in the Territories, either by subordinate Legislation, or, propria vigore; and concludes that the people of a Territory, and no other authority, have, under the Constitution, the right to regulate the question. Such is the system of his address, plain enough when analysed and stripped of various excrescences that profusely surround it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 2009, America celebrates the bicentennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, and the pace of new Lincoln books and articles has already quickened. From his cabinet’s politics to his own struggles with depression, Lincoln remains the most written-about story in our history. And each year historians find something new and important to say about the greatest of our Presidents. Lincoln Revisited is a masterly guidePub to what’s new and what’s noteworthy in this unfolding story—a brilliant gathering of fresh scholarship by the leading Lincoln historians of our time. Brought together by The Lincoln Forum, they tackle uncharted territory and emerging questions; they also take a new look at established debates—including those about their own landmark works. Here, these well-known historians revisit key chapters in Lincoln’s legacy—from Matthew Pinsker on Lincoln’s private life and Jean Baker on religion and the Lincoln marriage to Geoffrey Perret on Lincoln as leader and Frank J. Williams on Lincoln and civil liberties in wartime. The eighteen original essays explore every corner of Lincoln’s world—religion and politics, slavery and sovereignty, presidential leadership and the rule of law, the Second Inaugural Address and the assassination. In his 1947 classic, Lincoln Reconsidered, David Herbert Donald confronted the Lincoln myth. Today, the scholars in Lincoln Revisited give a new generation of students, scholars, and citizens the perspectives vital for understanding the constantly reinterpreted genius of Abraham Lincoln.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice In 1858, challenger Abraham Lincoln debated incumbent Stephen Douglas seven times in the race for a U.S. Senate seat from Illinois. More was at stake than slavery in those debates. In Lincoln’s Tragic Pragmatism, John Burt contends that the very legitimacy of democratic governance was on the line. In a United States stubbornly divided over ethical issues, the overarching question posed by the Lincoln-Douglas debates has not lost its urgency: Can a liberal political system be used to mediate moral disputes? And if it cannot, is violence inevitable? “John Burt has written a work that every serious student of Lincoln will have to read...Burt refracts Lincoln through the philosophy of Kant, Rawls and contemporary liberal political theory. His is very much a Lincoln for our time.” —Steven B. Smith, New York Times Book Review “I'm making space on my overstuffed shelves for Lincoln’s Tragic Pragmatism. This is a book I expect to be picking up and thumbing through for years to come.” —Jim Cullen, History News Network “Burt treats the [Lincoln-Douglas] debates as being far more significant than an election contest between two candidates. The debates represent profound statements of political philosophy and speak to the continuing challenges the U.S. faces in resolving divisive moral conflicts.” —E. C. Sands, Choice

Download or read book Lincoln written by David Herbert Donald and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful work by Pulitzer Prize–winning author David Herbert Donald, Lincoln is a stunning portrait of Abraham Lincoln’s life and presidency. Donald brilliantly depicts Lincoln’s gradual ascent from humble beginnings in rural Kentucky to the ever-expanding political circles in Illinois, and finally to the presidency of a country divided by civil war. Donald goes beyond biography, illuminating the gradual development of Lincoln’s character, chronicling his tremendous capacity for evolution and growth, thus illustrating what made it possible for a man so inexperienced and so unprepared for the presidency to become a great moral leader. In the most troubled of times, here was a man who led the country out of slavery and preserved a shattered Union—in short, one of the greatest presidents this country has ever seen.
