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.
