Slavery and the Constitution is a historical book written by William Ingersoll Bowditch in 1849. The book provides a detailed analysis of the role of slavery in the formation of the United States Constitution. Bowditch examines the debates and compromises that took place during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which led to the inclusion of provisions protecting slavery in the Constitution.The book discusses the impact of slavery on American society and politics, and how the issue of slavery eventually led to the Civil War. Bowditch also explores the legal and moral arguments surrounding slavery, including the concept of natural rights and the question of whether slaves were considered property or human beings.Throughout the book, Bowditch provides a critical perspective on the actions of the Founding Fathers and their attitudes towards slavery. He argues that while many of them opposed slavery on moral grounds, they were ultimately willing to compromise on the issue in order to establish a strong federal government.Overall, Slavery and the Constitution is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of one of the most contentious issues in American history. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery and its impact on American society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
