Ezra B. Chase. Teachings of Patriots and Statesmen; or, the 'Founders of the Republic' on Slavery. Philadelphia: J.W. Bradley, 1860.

8vo. Original brown cloth. FIRST EDITION. Sabin 12174.

INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR: "G.P. Steele's Book Presented by E.B. Chase July 6th 1860".

A fascinating work issued during the 1860 Presidential Campaign by northern Republicans to frame their candidate, Abraham Lincoln, as an originalist who was aligned with the Founding Fathers. Chase includes writings, speeches, debates, and policy regarding slave labor from luminaries including Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Quincy Adams.

Very desirable.

[African Americana, African American History, Black History, Slavery, Enslavement, Abolition, Emancipation] [Pamphlets, Publications, Ephemera, Books, Rare Books, Tracts]
