Book synopsis

The western lands acquired from by the US from Great Britain after the Revolutionary War were divided into slave and free states, a compromise which precipitated the US Civil War. Drawing on contemporary letters and documents, this detailed analysis re-examines the Northwest Ordinance and how Congress silently permitted the South's "peculiar institution" to move westward.
