Specificatii
In the 1830s slavery was so deeply entrenched that it could not
even be discussed in Congress, which had enacted a gag rule to
ensure that anti-slavery petitions would be summarily rejected.
This stirring book chronicles the parliamentary battle to bring the
peculiar institution into the national debate, a battle that some
historians have called the Pearl Harbor of the slavery controversy.
The campaign to make slavery officially and respectably debatable
was waged by John Quincy Adams who spent nine years defying gags,
accusations of treason, and assassination threats. In the end he
made his case through a combination of cunning and sheer endurance.
Telling this story with a brilliant command of detail, Arguing
About Slavery endows history with majestic sweep, heroism, and
moral weight. Dramatic, immediate, intensely readable, fascinating
and often moving.--New York Times Book Review
