Book Description
Excerpt from Southern Rights Documents: Co-Operation Meeting, Held in Charleston, S. C., July 29th, 1851 After the reading of the resolutions, the meeting was addressed by Hon. A. P. Butler, in opposition to separate State action. Although evidently laboring under severe indisposition. He spoke with animation and great effect. As we hope to be able to publish his remarks in full, we forbear further comment at present. The Hon. Robert W. Barnwell followed in an address of considera-v ble length, addressed to the point of the inability of the State to sustain herself alone, and the folly of looking to Great Britain for countenance and aid. He expressed f diy the abolition policy of that nation, as exemplified by her acts for many years. He referred to the great sacrifice at which she had abolished slavery in her own dominions, and to the fact that in her offer to Texas, the abolition of slavery was one of the conditions. Both speakers studiously refrained from any appeals to the passions or fears of the audience, and sustained their views of this great question calm and forcible argument.

Book Description
In this comprehensive analysis of politics and ideology in antebellum South Carolina, Manisha Sinha offers a provocative new look at the roots of southern separatism and the causes of the Civil War. Challenging works that portray secession as a fight for white liberty, she argues instead that it was a conservative, antidemocratic movement to protect and perpetuate racial slavery. Sinha discusses some of the major sectional crises of the antebellum era--including nullification, the conflict over the expansion of slavery into western territories, and secession--and offers an important reevaluation of the movement to reopen the African slave trade in the 1850s. In the process she reveals the central role played by South Carolina planter politicians in developing proslavery ideology and the use of states' rights and constitutional theory for the defense of slavery. Sinha's work underscores the necessity of integrating the history of slavery with the traditional narrative of southern politics. Only by taking into account the political importance of slavery, she insists, can we arrive at a complete understanding of southern politics and the enormity of the issues confronting both northerners and southerners on the eve of the Civil War.
