In the years leading up to the 1860 election printers went through a lot of ink, many inflammatory pamphlets were distributed in support of both diodes of the issue, priming the pump that feed blood into what would one of the bloodiest conflicts ever fought.
We hear revisionist versions of the pro slavery argument but seldom get to read the pro slavery point of view as it was presented at the time, what we are given today it the romanticized mythological version.
What we have here is the real thing, in all its unvarnished language of 1860, a snapshot if you will into the mentality of the era.
