American Debate Part Two

American Debate Part Two: The Land And Slavery Questions, 1607-1860 is a historical book written by Marion Mills Miller and first published in 1916. The book is a comprehensive study of the debates surrounding the issues of land and slavery in America from the early colonial period to the eve of the Civil War. The author examines the various arguments and viewpoints put forth by politicians, intellectuals, and ordinary citizens on these two contentious issues. Miller explores the debates over the acquisition and distribution of land, including the conflicts between Native Americans and European settlers, the expansion of the western frontier, and the Homestead Act of 1862. The book also delves into the heated discussions surrounding slavery, including the moral, economic, and political implications of the institution. Miller analyzes the positions of pro-slavery and anti-slavery advocates, the debates over the Fugitive Slave Act, and the growth of the abolitionist movement. Throughout the book, Miller provides a detailed and nuanced account of the complex and often conflicting arguments that shaped American history. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of America's land and slavery debates and the social, economic, and political forces that shaped them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
