Includes bibliographical references and index. The ambiguous beginnings of antislavery constitutionalism : Somerset -- Antislavery during and after the American Revolution -- Slavery in the making of the Constitution -- Antislavery in the new nation -- Missouri statehood : the second crisis of the union -- The Southern counteroffensive -- Antislavery renascent -- Constitutional sparring -- Moderate constitutional antislavery : abolition manquee -- The Garrisonian critique -- Radical constitutional antislavery : the imagined past, the remembered future -- Epilogue : beyond free soil. This ambitious book examines the constitutional and legal doctrines of the antislavery movement from the eve of the American Revolution to the Wilmot Proviso and the 1848 national elections. Relating political activity to constitutional thought, William M. Wiecek surveys the antislavery societies, the ideas of their individual members, and the actions of those opposed to slavery and its expansion into the territories. He shows that the idea of constitutionalism has popular origins and was not the exclusive creation of a caste of lawyers. In offering a sophisticated examination of both sides of the argument about slavery, he not only discusses court cases and statutes, but also considers a broad range of "extrajudicial" thought--political speeches and pamphlets, legislative debates and arguments.
