Publisher's dark blue cloth blocked in blind upper cover lettered in gilt very minor fading to spine. First Edition. 193 1 6pp. Ads in the rear. 1 vols. 8vo. "When the Wilmot Proviso against slavery in the territories acquired from Mexico produced angry debates Benton denounced the proviso but he also refused to support the southern demand for territorial expansion. He insisted that slavery where it existed was in no danger while geography climate and the opposition of existing territorial populations would prevent its expansion. Though a slaveholder himself Benton described the institution as an incurable evil preserved only by racial fears and animosities. He hoped that it would ultimately disappear but meanwhile he prayed that it would never be expanded . In 1857 the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott decision ruled that the federal government could not bar slavery from any federal territory. Benton answered this ruling with a 192-page Historical and Legal Examination of the Dred Scott Case 1857 which glorified the Union appealed for sectional peace and denounced the decision as bad constitutional law" ANB.
