Erik S. Root

All Honor to Jefferson?

The Virginia Slavery Debates and the Positive Good Thesis

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book fills a long neglected hole in American history and political thought. The debate over emancipation in 1829-32, and the success of the pro-slave interests in these debates paved the way for the development of the positive good thesis that was articulated and popularized by John C. Calhoun. These debates were to become a bellweather for the union.
