Explores and underscores the fear and complex meaning of ""slavery"" to northerners before the Civil War. In trenchant and graceful prose, Jeremy Tewell argues that some Republicans, most notably Abraham Lincoln, held that the only effective safeguard of individual liberty was universal liberty, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence.
