Publisher's Synopsis

""A Memorial to the Congress of the United States, on the Subject of Restraining the Increase of Slavery in New States to be Admitted into the Union"" is a book written by Daniel Webster in 1819. In it, Webster presents a case for limiting the expansion of slavery into new states that were being admitted into the Union. He argues that the spread of slavery was detrimental to the country's moral and economic well-being, and that it was the responsibility of the government to take action to prevent it. The book is a passionate plea for justice and equality, and it reflects the growing tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery. Written in a clear and persuasive style, ""A Memorial to the Congress of the United States"" is an important historical document that sheds light on a critical moment in American history.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
