This book is a speech delivered by Carl Schurz, a German-American politician, in 1850, in which he denounces the doctrine of popular sovereignty, which held that settlers in the territories should be allowed to decide whether to allow slavery or not. Schurz argues that this doctrine is a violation of the principles of the Constitution and of the natural rights of man. The book also includes remarks by Senator Doolittle, who defends the compromise of 1850, which was designed to settle the issue of slavery in the territories.
