520			_a"American Eloquence, Volume 3" edited by Alexander Johnston and James Albert Woodburn is a historical collection that focuses on significant political speeches pertaining to American history, particularly those related to the contentious issues of slavery and secession leading up to the Civil War. This volume likely reflects the mid-19th century period, a time when debates over slavery intensified and the nation faced existential threats to its union. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a deep dive into the political discourse surrounding the Kansas-Nebraska Bill and the broader implications of the slavery debate. The introduction outlines the key contributions included in this volume, highlighting speeches by renowned figures such as Salmon P. Chase, Abraham Lincoln, and Stephen A. Douglas, among others. These speeches are presented as critical reflections on the historical context of their times, illustrating the evolving arguments on both sides of the slavery issue and the impending challenges of secession that would ultimately lead to the Civil War.
