Speech of William H. Seward, on the Kansas and Nebraska Bill (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781176068537)

This is the speech of William H. Seward on the Kansas and Nebraska Bill. Delivered in 1854, Seward's address passionately opposes the bill, which allowed for popular sovereignty in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, effectively opening the door for the expansion of slavery. Seward's eloquent arguments against the extension of slavery and his defense of human rights make this speech a significant document in the history of American political discourse. A crucial historical document for understanding the debates leading up to the Civil War.
