Slavery, Race, and Conquest in the Tropics challenges the way
historians interpret the causes of the American Civil War. Using
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas's famed rivalry as a prism,
Robert E. May shows that when Lincoln and fellow Republicans
opposed slavery in the West, they did so partly from evidence that
slaveholders, with Douglas's assistance, planned to follow up
successes in Kansas by bringing Cuba, Mexico, and Central America
into the Union as slave states. A skeptic about 'Manifest Destiny',
Lincoln opposed the war with Mexico, condemned Americans invading
Latin America, and warned that Douglas's 'popular sovereignty'
doctrine would unleash US slaveholders throughout Latin America.
This book internationalizes America's showdown over slavery,
shedding new light on the Lincoln-Douglas rivalry and Lincoln's
Civil War scheme to resettle freed slaves in the tropics.
