Imprint, “RELATIONS OF STATES. SPEECH OF THE HON. JAMES CHESNUT, JR. OF SOUTH CAROLINA, DELIVERED IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES, APRIL 9, 1860, ON THE RESOLUTIONS SUBMITTED BY THE HON. JEFFERSON DAVIS, OF MISS. ON 1ST OF MARCH, 1860”, Baltimore: John Murphy, 1860. 24pp, disbound. Southern Senators like Chesnut of South Carolina thus rejected Sen. Stephen Douglas's Popular Sovereignty doctrine that inhabitants of a territory had the right to vote slavery up or down, as they saw fit. The Davis Resolutions far exceeded what Northern or Border State Democrats could stomach. The Resolutions accomplished what many Southerners hoped-- the rending of the Democratic Party-- and paved the way for secession. Very good condition.
