The Failure of Popular Sovereignty: Slavery, Manifest Destiny, and the Radicalization of Southern Politics
Angebote / Angebote:
As the expanding United States grappled with the question of how to determine the boundaries of slavery, politicians proposed popular sovereignty as a means of entrusting the issue to citizens of new territories. Christopher Childers uses popular sovereignty as a lens for viewing the radicalisation of southern states' rights politics, demonstrating how this misbegotten offspring of slavery and Manifest Destiny worsened sectional differences, radicalised southerners, and paved the way for secession.
