Parties and Slavery, 1850-1859 is a book written by Theodore Clarke Smith. It is a historical account of the political landscape in the United States during the years leading up to the Civil War. The book focuses on the issue of slavery and how it affected the political parties of the time. Smith examines the major political parties of the era, including the Democrats, Whigs, and Republicans, and how they dealt with the issue of slavery. He also looks at the role of individual politicians such as Stephen Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, and John Brown in shaping the debate over slavery. The book provides a detailed analysis of the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and the Dred Scott decision, all of which were pivotal moments in the debate over slavery. Smith also explores the impact of the Fugitive Slave Act and the Underground Railroad on the political landscape of the time. Parties and Slavery, 1850-1859 is a comprehensive study of the political and social factors that led to the outbreak of the Civil War. It provides readers with a deep understanding of the complex issues surrounding slavery and the role of political parties in shaping the course of American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
