No Slave-hunting in the old Bay State; Volume 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781149937563)

"No Slave-hunting in the old Bay State, Volume 2" offers a historical snapshot of Massachusetts' stance against slavery in 1859. Authored by the Joint Standing Committee on Federal Relations of the Massachusetts General Court, this volume likely contains legislative documents, resolutions, and arguments related to the state's opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law and its broader efforts to combat the institution of slavery.

The book provides valuable insights into the political and legal strategies employed by Massachusetts in its resistance to federal policies perceived as supportive of slavery. It illuminates the complexities of state-federal relations in the antebellum period and the moral and legal debates surrounding slavery that ultimately led to the Civil War. This volume is an important resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of abolitionism, civil rights, and the struggle for freedom in the United States.
