Black History
Preamble to the U.S. Constitution Discussed Regarding Black History and Slavery for "ADMISSION OF KANSAS"
c. 1859 "ADMISSION OF KANSAS", A Battle Between Mr. Stephens (of Georgia) and His peers for Consideration of Kansas Being Admitted to the Union As a State over the issue of Slavery, Constitutional liberty; that liberty which recognized the inferior condition of the African race amongst them.", Very Fine.
Debate between Mr. Stephens and a Mr. Campbell where the preamble to the U.S. Constitution was in regard to Slavery was discussed. The line that reads: "in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility and secure the blessing of liberty to ourselves and our posterity" sparked much discussion. Mr. Stephens used this statement to prove his point, responding: "Yes, sir, to themselves and their posterity - not to the Negroes and Africans - and what sort of liberty? Constitutional liberty; that liberty which recognized the inferior condition of the African race amongst them." Historic Black History and Slavery related 16 page pamphlet, measuring 9.0" x 5.75", some age tone with separation at seams. Stephens wants Kansas to be separate from the Union, where the acts of slavery will prevail.
