Good condition.<br /> <br /> From wikipedia: The caning of Charles Sumner or the Brooks–Sumner Affair occurred on May 22 1856 in the United States Senate chamber when Representative Preston Brooks a pro-slavery Democrat from South Carolina used a walking cane to attack Senator Charles Sumner an abolitionist Republican from Massachusetts. The attack was in retaliation for an invective-laden speech given by Sumner two days earlier in which he fiercely criticized slaveholders including pro-slavery South Carolina Senator Andrew Butler a relative of Brooks. The beating nearly killed Sumner and contributed significantly to the country's polarization over the issue of slavery. It has been considered symbolic of the "breakdown of reasoned discourse"1 and willingness to resort to violence that eventually led to the Civil War.<br /> Although Sumner was unable to return to the Senate until December 18592 the Massachusetts legislature refused to replace him leaving his empty desk in the Senate as a public reminder of the attack.

Tear to top corner of final leaf costing several words on last two pages. Good. <br/><br/> A significant illustration of the nature of the deep South's attachment to the Union in 1850. The Convention expresses Georgia's reaction to the Compromise of 1850. Secession is opposed but on practical grounds only: slavery is more secure inside the Union than out. But "the South is entitled to absolute security and quiet on this subject." The issue of fugitive slaves receives "especial notice." Indeed the Convention asserts that preservation of the Union depends on strict enforcement of the new Fugitive Slave Act. This 'Georgia Platform' "became the cornerstone of southern policy for several years.The Georgia Platform epitomized the attitude of the great majority of southerners in 1850. They still cherished their 'beloved Union' and would not part from it lightly.but their acquiescence was emphatically conditional and not absolute." Potter Impending Crisis 128. <br/>FIRST EDITION.
