Winner of the Coral Horton Tullis, Summerfield G. Roberts, and
Friends of the Dallas Public Library Awards Because Texas emerged
from the western frontier relatively late in the formation of the
antebellum nation, it is frequently and incorrectly perceived as
fundamentally western in its political and social orientation. In
fact, most of the settlers of this area were emigrants from the
South, and many of these people brought with them their slaves and
all aspects of slavery as it had matured in their native states. In
An Empire for Slavery, Randolph B. Campbell examines slavery in the
antebellum South's newest state and reveals how significant slavery
was to the history of Texas. The ""peculiar institution"" was
perhaps the most important factor in determining the economic
development and ideological orientation of the state in the years
leading to the Civil War.
