Lot Description

The Address of the People of South Carolina Assembled in Convention, to the People of the Slaveholding States of the United States. 8vo, original printed yellow wrappers, 16pp. Charleston, SC: Evans & Cogswell, 1860.

Considered one of the earliest Confederate imprints produced on the eve of secession, this address served as a rallying cry to slaveholding states to join the Confederacy and argued that owning slaves was a Constitutional right. It states, in part: "South Carolina, having again assembled her people in Convention, has this day dissolved her connexion with the States, constituting the United States...We ask you to join us, in forming a Confederacy of Slaveholding States." Parrish & Willingham 3749.

Condition

Central horizontal fold in booklet. Green stamps / marks on cover. Water stain lower left and across lower margin internally. Does not affect text significantly.
