The Slave Trade

About this ebook
This insightful 1925 book traces the evolution of what was called the "Negro Question" in America, specifically examining the role of South Carolina in shaping early policies and attitudes. It analyzes key debates and votes in the state legislature and Constitutional Convention regarding slavery and the slave trade. The book highlights influential figures like Calhoun who pushed the state towards staunch pro-slavery views, as well as dissenting voices warning of the dangers of rapid expansion of slave populations.
Though dense with detail at times, the book offers an illuminating window into the political and economic machinations that ensnared South Carolina and the South in systems of bondage. Overall it provides a thought-provoking perspective on the complex forces driving America's gravest moral failure.
