It gives the history of the US Govt during most of Thomas Benton's life (I had never heard of him before finding out about this book!) He was born in 1782 in North Carolina, and died in 1858 in Washington. He had served over 30 years as Missouri Senator! He was against slavery, but from a slave state. He was for hard money. It not only gives what he did, but the presidents during the time he was Senator. Anyone interested in American History should read this book! ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Up to 1810 Indiana kept petitioning Congress to allow slavery within her borders; Illinois, in the early days, felt as hostile towards Massachusetts as did Missouri. Moreover, at first the Southern States west of the mountains greatly outweighed the Northern, both in numbers and importance. Thus several things came about.
