First 4 pages have a small edge chip not affecting the print. Wraps spine backed with later tissue paper. Pages 3-6 are loose. Scarce. 10 copies located in OCLC. The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves promoted by President Thomas Jefferson was passed in 1807 and took effect in 1808.<br /> <br /> From the 1820 letter submitted by the Treasury Department Spain and individuals were responsible for the illegal importation of Slaves into the United States. Secretary of Treasury William Crawford writes "From information recently received by this Department there is just reason to believe that Sir Gregor MacGregor has taken military possession of Amelia Island Florida in the name of the Spanish Patriots" Continued on the same page "In addition to the circumstances already communicated the disposition which has been manifested by the vessels of Spain engaged in the African Slave Trade to introduce illicitly into that section of the Union the persons who in the prosecution of their traffic have been subjected to their control seems to require the presence of a force sufficient to enforce the due execution of the laws against the introduction of slaves into the United States." The Treasury Department recommends "To guard against the unlawful introduction of slaves and to repress any attempt that may be made by the foreign belligerent force collected in that neighborhood to excite domestic insurrection among the blacks it appears to me to be absolutely necessary that a land and naval force be stationed at St. Mary's." <br /> <br /> Soon after this letter was published Florida was ceded to the United States by Spain in 1821. Florida was a territory until 1845. Printed by Gales & Seaton unknown

18508864Washington: Buell & Blanchard 1850. Disbound. near Very Good binding. Octavo. 8 pp. Removed from volume. Inner margin a bit irregular; horizontal creases from being folded. <br /> <br /> Stevens rails against "Southern gentlemen" who he argues have obstructed the business of Congress by speeches on the subject of slavery. The remedy Another speech on slavery. And no doubt the subject was indeed occupying Congress and the country. In fact the Compromise of 1850 and its Fugitive Slave Act was just months away from passage when Stevens took the floor with this searing speech against the institution of slavery and the Southern legislators who were holding Congress hostage. Stevens cites Mr. Clingman of North Carolina who in Stevens's words "was selected to open the debate in behalf of human bondage distinctly notified us that unless Congress as a condition precedent submitted to settle the Slavery question according to Southern demands there should be no legislation even the passage of the ordinary appropriation bills necessary to sustain the Government." A heated time indeed! Sabin 91565. Buell & Blanchard unknown

This is pro Slavery and religious defense of the institution from a Southern Minister. Fair only. From the North Carolina Encyclopedia ncpedia dot org:<br /> <br /> "Iveson Lewis Brookes Baptist clergyman planter and Southern sectionalist was the eldest of five sons of Jonathan and Annie Lewis Brookes and was born in Rockingham County. His father was a veteran of the Revolution. His parents had only recently moved to North Carolina from Spotsylvania County Va. where many of his relatives continued to live; soon after his birth his parents moved permanently to Caswell County. Educated in a local academy during his early years in 1812 Brookes enlisted in the American army. After seeing only limited action during the War of 1812 he entered The University of North Carolina. He was graduated in 1819 after developing what proved to be a lifelong acquaintance with both James K. Polk and Thomas Hart Benton. In his commencement address entitled "Is the State of the World Better in the Present Age Than at Any Former Period" Brookes expressed an optimism and an enmity to slavery that were totally antithetical to his later positions. Undecided about his future he spent a year as a teacher in Greensboro"."Although he had opposed slavery as a student at The University of North Carolina Brookes became a staunch defender of slavery and a rabid southern sectionalist. During the Nullification controversy he was made a minuteman by Governor James Hamilton of South Carolina. In 1861 at the age of sixty-eight he offered himself for service in the Confederate Army. From the first appearance of abolitionism he feared for the future of southern society. From 1835 he wrote dozens of defenses of slavery most of them in the form of letters to northern antislavery periodicals. His most famous defenses were two pamphlets written during the crisis of 1850: A Defence of the South against the Reproaches and Incroachments of the North 1850 and A Defence of Southern Slavery against the Attacks of Henry Clay and Alexander Campbell 1851 the latter written at the behest of Governor James Henry Hammond of South Carolina. The productions of an enraged slaveholder revealing little of the optimistic and balanced thinking of his youthful years those two documents stood as the most characteristic statements of a die-hard southern sectionalist who had learned to love the life of a slaveholding planter.
