""Speech Of Mr. Foote, Of Mississippi, On The Admission Of California: Delivered In The Senate Of The United States, August 1, 1850"" is a historical document that captures the words spoken by Henry S. Foote, a senator from Mississippi, during a debate on the admission of California into the United States. The speech was delivered on August 1, 1850, and is considered an important contribution to the national conversation on the issue of slavery and its role in the expansion of the country. In his speech, Foote argued against the admission of California as a free state and proposed a compromise that would allow slavery to continue in certain parts of the country. The book provides a complete transcript of Foote's speech, allowing readers to gain a deeper understanding of the political and social climate of the time. It is an important resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of the United States and its ongoing struggle with issues of race, equality, and justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
