Democratic Politics and Sectionalism: The Wilmot Proviso ControversyUniversity of North Carolina Press, 1967 - 244 страница This detailed study of the Wilmot Proviso controversy of the late 1840s analyzes the debate that drew the theoretical battle lines concerning slavery in the territories and that led eventually to the secession of the Southern states and the Civil War.
