Slavery, Law, and Politics

Résumé du livre

This abridgement of the Pulitzer-Prize winning The Dred Scott Case makes Fehrenbacher's monumental work available to a wider audience. The original has been reduced by approximately one half. All the documentation has been omitted, yet all the chapters and major themes of the larger work have been retained, providing a masterful review of the issues before America on the eve of the Civil War.
