| 520 | _a"The Relations of the Federal Government to Slavery" by Joseph K. Edgerton is a historical account that was delivered as a speech in the context of the 1860 Presidential campaign. The work focuses on the complex relationship between the Federal government and the institution of slavery, exploring the constitutional standpoints and political dynamics influencing 19th-century America. The book likely aims to provide clarity and justification regarding the role of slavery within the framework of the United States Constitution, urging a spirit of compromise. At the start of the speech, Edgerton positions himself as an American citizen, discussing his early political affiliations and the history of the Whig party during a turbulent era. He reflects on the evolution of the United States, emphasizing the principles upon which the nation was founded and urging listeners to reconsider their views on slavery and its role in preserving the Union. He critiques the extreme opinions of both the North and South, advocating for a return to compromise as essential for addressing the divisive issue of slavery while reiterating a commitment to the values of the Constitution. The opening establishes the urgency of the topic during a pivotal moment in American history, highlighting the delicate balance required to maintain national unity amidst sectional tensions.
