| 520 | _a"Slavery: What it was, what it has done, what it intends to do" by Tompkins is a historical speech delivered in the House of Representatives in the early 1860s. The book presents a compelling argument against the institution of slavery, discussing its moral, social, and political implications. As a work of historical significance, it reflects the intense debates occurring in pre-Civil War America, focusing specifically on the injustices and aggressions associated with slavery. In his speech, Tompkins articulates the founding fathers' anti-slavery sentiments, highlighting their opposition to the practice and presenting a series of historical resolutions that condemn slavery. He argues that slavery is not only a moral injustice but also detrimental to society, claiming that it creates a class of uneducated and impoverished free white laborers. Furthermore, he warns against the aggressive expansion of slavery into new territories, emphasizing the need to uphold the principles of liberty and justice established by the nation’s founders. Overall, Tompkins' address serves as both a critique of slavery's implications and a call to action for the defense of freedom in the United States. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
