Abolition a Sedition, by a Northern Man

"Abolition a Sedition, by a Northern Man", by Calvin Colton, is a political essay from the 1800s that looks closely at the fight to end slavery in the United States, but argues that it is a dangerously rebellious group that threatens the country’s peace. Colton argues against the anti-slavery groups, seeing them as political troublemakers acting outside the law, stirring up unrest, and possibly breaking up the country. The book starts by saying that the movement goes against the U.S. Constitution and causes problems in society. It stresses that it is a type of rebellion against the government that could destroy the American Republic. The author tries to show how the movement breaks away from what the Constitution says, taking power away from the government. Colton warns about the harmful effects of this disagreement on the union of the states.
