  • The Lincoln-Douglas Debates (1858) in 1860, the Radical
    Chapter Thirteen “A David Greater than the Democratic Goliath”: The Lincoln-Douglas Debates (1858) In 1860, the radical abolitionist Parker Pillsbury, who called Lincoln “the Kentucky clodhopper,” scoffed at his antislavery record, saying there was “no essential difference” between him and Stephen A. Douglas.1 In fact, the two Illinois rivals disagreed fundamentally about slavery, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the role of the U.S. Supreme Court, racial equality, and American history.2 Their battle served as a dress rehearsal for the presidential race two years later, when once again they clashed, with a different outcome. Herndon predicted that “the Race in Ills for 1858 & 9 -- for the Senatorial seat . will be hot – energetic – deadly; it will be broader – wider, and deeper in principle than the race in 1856.”3 But it would also be marred by Douglas’s brazen appeals to racial 1 Pillsbury to Wendell Phillips, New York, 17 March 1864, Phillips Papers, Harvard University; Pillsbury, speech at Framingham, Massachusetts, 4 July 1860, The Liberator (Boston), 20 July 1860.

FURTHERING AMERICAN FREEDOM: CIVIL RIGHTS & THE THIRTEENTH AMENDMENT ALEXANDER TSESIS* Abstract: This Article discusses why the Thirteenth Amendment's reach extends beyond the institution of slavery and has important implications for civil liberties. The Amendment-in providing a mechanism to protect findamental rights articulated in the Declaration of Independence and Preamble to the Constitution-not only ended slavery, but also created a substantive assurance of freedom. This Article reviews Thirteenth Amend- mentjurisprudence and shows that, despite substantial narrowing after its adoption, the Amendment is a source of sweeping constitutional power for enacting federal civil rights legislation. The Article also distinguishes congressional power nnder the Thirteenth Amendment from that under the Fourteenth Amendment and the Commerce Clause, demonstrating that the Thirteenth Amendment is a viable, and at times preferable, alter- native for civil rights reforms. Finally, the Article suggests that recent U.S. Supreme Court jurisprudence limiting congressional Commerce Clause and Fourteenth Amendment Section 5 powers has increased the import- ance of the Thirteenth Amendment as an alternative strategy for civil rights legislation and litigation.

  • Would You Prosecute the War with Elder-Stalk Squirts, Charged with Rose Water?”
    Chapter Twenty-eight “Would You Prosecute the War with Elder-Stalk Squirts, Charged with Rose Water?”: The Soft War Turns Hard (July-September 1862) In the summer of 1862, public disenchantment with the Administration’s “fatal milk and water policy” intensified.1 “The stern sentiment of justice and of retribution which swells even to bursting in millions of American hearts today, must be vindicated,” declared a Cincinnati journalist on Independence Day. “The outraged sense and patience of a long suffering nation must be trifled with no longer.”2 Illinois Governor Richard Yates warned Lincoln that the “crisis of the war and our national existence is upon us. The time has come for the adoption of more decisive measures. Mild and conciliatory means have been tried in vain.”3 The “people are fast getting into the belief, that as quiet & moderate war measures have accomplished no good, that severe measures are now necessary, & if the rebels will not lay down their arms – that it is the duty of the Govt to smite them hip & thigh,” Lincoln’s friend David Davis observed.4 1 James B.
