Speeches of Hon. William H. Seward, and Hon. Lewis Cass, on the Subject of Slavery

This volume presents the speeches of Hon. William H. Seward and Hon. Lewis Cass concerning the critical subject of slavery in the mid-19th century United States. Delivered during a period of intense national debate, these addresses offer invaluable insights into the political and moral arguments surrounding slavery, its expansion, and its impact on the Union.

Seward, a prominent anti-slavery advocate, and Cass, a leading figure in the Democratic Party, articulate their differing perspectives on the issue, reflecting the deep divisions within American society at the time. Their words capture the essence of the era's political discourse and provide essential context for understanding the events leading up to the Civil War. This compilation serves as a vital historical resource for scholars and anyone interested in the complex history of slavery and its role in shaping the nation.
