Publisher's Synopsis
This is a reproduction of Salmon P. Chase's powerful speech, "Union and Freedom, Without Compromise," delivered in the Senate in March 1850. Chase, a prominent Ohio senator and future Chief Justice of the United States, passionately argues against the Compromise Resolutions proposed by Henry Clay. The speech offers valuable insight into the political debates surrounding slavery and the expansion of slavery into newly acquired territories that ultimately led to the Civil War. Chase's unwavering stance against compromise and his advocacy for freedom and union make this a compelling historical document for anyone interested in the antebellum period, the history of abolitionism, and the career of Salmon P. Chase.
