"Slavery: What it was, what it has done, what it intends to do," offers a vital historical perspective on one of the most contentious issues in American history. This meticulously prepared edition presents the "Speech of Hon. Cydnor B. Tompkins, of Ohio," delivered before Congress during a pivotal era leading up to the Civil War. Tompkins's address directly confronts the institution of slavery, dissecting its past impact, its present realities, and its potential future consequences for the United States.

A significant contribution to the understanding of slavery and abolitionism, this historical text illuminates the political and social climate of the time. Tompkins's words provide firsthand insight into the debates surrounding slavery, offering a window into the complex arguments and moral questions that gripped the nation. This speech serves as a valuable resource for anyone studying the Civil War period, African American history, and the enduring legacy of slavery in the American South.
