Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Memorial of George Bancroft
The election of 1844 had turned almost entirely upon the question of the annexation of Texas, and upon that question bancroft spoke with no uncertain voice. The constitution ality and expediency of the measure were both attacked. Whether the admission of Texas was constitutional, is a ques tion which may be left to those who are Specially concerned with the history of the development of constitutional law. It possesses to-day no other importance. But the question of the expediency of the admission of Texas was one which involved considerations far beyond the immediate subject of debate.
