The Doctrine of Non-Intervention with Slavery in the Territories is a book written by Milo Milton Quaife in 1910. The book explores the political and legal debates surrounding the issue of slavery in the United States territories during the mid-19th century. Quaife argues that the doctrine of non-intervention with slavery was a key factor in the development of the United States as a nation, and that it played a significant role in the events leading up to the Civil War. He provides a detailed analysis of the debates and controversies surrounding the issue of slavery in the territories, including the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Quaife also examines the role of prominent figures such as Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln in shaping the national discourse on slavery. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery in the United States and the political and legal debates that surrounded it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
