1850 · [Boston?

by Massachusetts
[Boston?, 1850. 24pp, spine reinforced. Caption title [as issued]. Faded rubberstamp in a blank margin, Very Good.

Massachusetts weighs in on slavery in the Territories, the Compromise of 1850, and other matters relating to "the unhappy fact of slavery." Condemning slavery, expressing distress that some Americans defend it as a God-given blessing, the Report also urges adherence to the Constitution and Union, and opposes those who urge the dissolution of a Union with slaveholders. A Minority Report, expressing the abolitionist sentiment, is included at pages 12-26. (Inventory #: 24157)
