Book Overview

Speech Of Mr. Dixon, Of Connecticut: Against The Extension Of Slave Territory (1847) is a book that contains a speech delivered by James Dixon, a prominent politician and anti-slavery advocate from Connecticut, in the United States Congress in 1847. In his speech, Dixon argues against the expansion of slavery into new territories, particularly in the western part of the country. He presents a detailed analysis of the economic, political, and moral implications of slavery, and highlights the negative impact it has on both slaves and slaveholders. Dixon also discusses the constitutional and legal aspects of the issue, and calls for a more just and humane approach to dealing with slavery. The book provides valuable insights into the anti-slavery movement in the mid-19th century, and sheds light on the debates and discussions that shaped the political landscape of the United States during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
