Speech Of Robert Toombs, Of Georgia

Speech of Robert Toombs, of Georgia: On the President's Kansas Message (1856) is a historical document that presents the speech delivered by Robert Toombs, a prominent American politician and lawyer, in response to President Franklin Pierce's message on the situation in Kansas. The book provides a detailed account of Toombs' speech, which was delivered on February 19, 1856, in the United States Senate. In his speech, Toombs strongly disagreed with the President's message and argued that the situation in Kansas was the result of the ""unjust and unconstitutional"" actions of the anti-slavery forces. Toombs defended the right of the Southern states to maintain slavery and criticized the Northern states for their interference in the affairs of the South. The book offers a valuable insight into the political and social tensions that existed in the United States in the mid-19th century, particularly in relation to the issue of slavery. It is an important primary source for historians and scholars interested in American history, politics, and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
