Why the North Cannot Accept of Separation

More about the book

This pamphlet provides a compelling argument for why the North cannot accept the separation of the United States in the lead-up to the Civil War. Laboulaye, a French legal scholar and human rights activist, argues that slavery is incompatible with the principles of freedom and democracy upon which the nation was founded. His arguments are still relevant today and provide a sobering reminder of the costs of division and intolerance.
