Description

The book ""The Doctrine of Non-Intervention with Slavery in the Territories"" was written by Milo Milton Quaife in 1910. The book explores the controversial issue of slavery in the territories of the United States during the 19th century. Quaife argues that the doctrine of non-intervention, which held that the federal government should not interfere with slavery in the territories, was a flawed and immoral policy. He examines the historical context of the doctrine, including the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, and shows how it led to the expansion of slavery in the West. Quaife also discusses the political and moral implications of the doctrine, and argues that it ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War. This book is an important contribution to the study of American history and the debate over slavery and its legacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
