Tear in upper front at spine. Ink inscription to top of title page. Tear in p. 5. Most pages dampstained but legibility not affected. <br/><br/>Main interest is likely the Report of the Select Committee of the Senate on Slavery and the Affairs of Kansas Submitted November 6 1857. Written by John Gregory Henry Walker and Orrin Bates the report takes the form of a diatribe against slavery slave-owners and the hypocrisy apparent in allowing the institution to continue. The reference to Kansas comes from the introduction of slavery in that territory. Settlers from Vermont were apparently being harassed and attacked by pro-slavery factions and the Vermont House of Representatives had asserted its rights to protect its citizens.

Freed slaves in Mississippi voted overwhelmingly for Republicans in 1874 giving that party a 30000 vote majority in what had previously been a Democratic stronghold. Democrats reacted with violence to suppress the black vote and black elected leaders. In 1875 the riots in Vicksburg resulted in the murder of some 300 blacks in the city and vicinity and President Grant sent Federal troops to quell the violence. The statewide elections of 1875 resulted in exactly 25 Republican votes from predominantly black counties; the 30000 vote majority had disappeared in the face of threats and violence.
