Politics and Ideology in the Age of the Civil WarOxford University Press, 1980年10月2日 - 256 頁 Insisting that politics and ideology must remain at the forefront of any examination of nineteenth-century America, Foner reasserts the centrality of the Civil War to the people of that period. The first section of this book deals with the causes of the sectional conflict; the second, with the antislavery movement; and a final group of essays treats land and labor after the war. Taken together, Foner's essays work towards reintegrating the social, political, and intellectual history of the nineteenth century. |

第 47 頁 - It shows that the judge has no very vivid impression that the negro is a human ; and consequently has no idea that there can be any moral question in legislating about him.
