Hardback. During the long decade from 1848 to 1861 America was like a train speeding down the track, without an engineer or brakes. The new territories acquired from Mexico had vastly increased the size of the nation, but debate over their status - and importantly the status of slavery within them - paralyzed the nation. This book examines these issues. Editor(s): Finkelman, Paul; Kennon, Donald R. Series: Perspective History of Congress 1801-1877. Num Pages: 264 pages, Illustrations, maps.
