520			_a"The Slavery Question" by John M. Landrum is a political speech delivered in the House of Representatives in the early 1860s, likely during the period leading up to the Civil War. This book is a historical account that explores the contentious issue of slavery in the United States and articulates the author's defense of the Democratic party's stance on the matter. Primarily, the work scrutinizes the tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions within the context of the emerging sectional conflicts of the time. In his speech, Landrum defends the Democratic party against accusations of being responsible for the discord concerning slavery. He argues that the founders of the Republic made compromises regarding slavery to form a united government and that these historical precedents should guide current legislative actions. Landrum contends that the Republican party, with its anti-slavery agenda, is the true source of agitation, having shifted the narrative toward a moral condemnation of slavery. He emphasizes that the Constitution does not prohibit slavery in the territories and highlights historical examples where slavery was accepted and regulated within the framework of the early American government. Throughout his argument, Landrum seeks to portray the Southern perspective as a principled stand for the rights guaranteed by the Constitution and the legacy of the Founding Fathers.
