6324X1 Third Printing. Oxford University Press, NY: 1992. 165 pages. Softcover. Good condition. The critical northern antebellum debate matched the rhetorical skills of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Doughlas in a historic argument over the future of slavery in a westward-expanding America. Two years later, an equally historic oratorical showdown between secessionists and Unionists in Georgia generated as much popular interest south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and perhaps had an even more profound immediate effect on the future of the United States. In Secession Debated, the editors have for the first time collected the seven surviving speeches and public letters of the greatest southwern debate over disunion, providing today's reader with a unique window into a moment of American crisis.
