Description
The struggle to abolish slavery in the United States was far from over after the Emancipation Proclamation. In "Final Freedom", Michael Vorenberg examines the tumultuous debate among legal thinkers, politicians, and ordinary Americans that took place in the North and border states as they sought a more permanent solution. Vorenberg reveals that the crucial consideration of emancipation occurred after the Emancipation Proclamation, rather than before it. He also shows how party politics played a significant role in shaping this debate, with volatility underestimated by previous historians. The abolition of slavery through constitutional amendment was a novel method of reform that transformed attitudes towards the Constitution. This book is Michael Vorenberg's first publication, drawing on his experience as a research assistant to David Herbert Donald and contributor to several academic journals.
