1878 Rise & Fall of SLAVE POWER America Slavery Henry Wilson Abolition 2v SET

Henry Wilson's "History of the Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in America" was the culmination of Wilson's political platform – his desire to complete destroy "Slave Power". Prior to, and during his vice presidency, Wilson recognized that slave owners and their political advocates had too much pull in the government, allowing for slavery to become far too widespread, and Wilson, with the help of other anti-slavery abolitionists, fought to take back that power.

This 1878 two-volume edition of Wilson's "Slave Power" history was published in Boston by Osgood.
