Reclamation of Fugitives from Service is a legal argument presented by Salmon Portland Chase to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1847. The case in question involves Wharton Jones and John Vanzandt, with Jones claiming that Vanzandt unlawfully detained him as a fugitive slave. Chase argues on behalf of Jones, stating that the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 is unconstitutional and violates the rights of both the accused and the accuser. He further argues that slavery is a moral evil and that the Constitution should be interpreted in a way that promotes liberty and justice for all. This book provides a valuable historical perspective on the contentious issue of slavery in the United States and the legal battles fought over the rights of slaves and their owners.At The December Term, 1846.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
