Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Is It Expedient to Introduce Slavery Into Kansas?: A Tract for the Times
Slavery has never ?ourished in Missouri as it has done further south. With an aggregate population of there were in 1850 only slaves, consti tuting about one-eighth of the population. It is evident, therefore, that it is an exotic in Missouri. It is one of those noxious plants which will spring up in every soil, but it belongs to the south properly, and lingers and decays in northern latitudes. Kansas, being higher and colder, can never foster slavery to the extent that Missouri does, and hence a still smaller proportion of her citizens will ever be able to avail themselves of its supposed advantages.
