Book Description
This study of political abolitionism in Wisconsin between 1840 and 1861 demonstrates the importance of slavery-related issues in bringing on the political crises of the 1850s and the American Civil War. It shows Wisconsin as having been comparatively radical on slavery and race-related issues.
