About this book

Arguing about Slavery: The Great Battle in the United States Congress by Miller, William Lee. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780394569222.

A blow-by-blow re-creation of the battle royal that raged in Congress in the 1830s, when a small band of representatives, led by President John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts, employed intricate stratagems to outwit the Southern (and Southern-sympathizing) sponsors of the successive "gag" rules that had long blocked debate on the subject of slavery.
