Excerpt from The Slave Power: Its Character, Career and Probable Designs: Being an Attempt to Explain the Real Issue Involved in the American Contest"I could easily prove that almost all the differences which are observed between the characters of the Americans in the Southern and Northern States have had their origin in slavery." - Tocqueville."If America ever undergoes great revolutions, they will be brought about by the presence of the blacks on the soil of the United States; that is to say, it will not be equality of conditions, but, on the contrary, inequality, which will produce them." - Ibid."African slavery as it exists among us - the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization - this was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. Jefferson, in his forecast, had anticipated this as the 'rock upon which the old Union would split.' He was right. What was conjecture with him is now a realized fact." - A. H. Stephens, Vice-president of the Southern Confederacy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Still Valued After All These Years By Chimonsho "The Slave Power" holds up surprisingly well despite its age and origins as a timely polemic. In contrast to its contemporaries among antislavery tracts, it is not memoir or propaganda, but well-researched scholarship by an Irish political economist and law professor. Cairnes offers keen insights into the nature of unfree labor and slave societies, commenting accurately on the future course of events in the US Civil War raging at that time. Most important, he described the nature and workings of the Slave Power itself. The political clout of slave states in Congress, especially the Senate, was used not only to preserve slavery but aimed to expand it beyond its current extent. The prospect of entrenched, expanding slavery concerned Northerners more than its existence, raising tensions leading to schism and secession. his valuable case study of political manipulation influenced Britain to not recognize the Confederacy, a key factor in its ultimate demise. The other review (inadvertently) suggests why the book may be underappreciated. Viewed as a tedious supplement to the battle accounts preferred by Civil War buffs, its role in comprehending the politics of slavery is obscured. Considering that the New Slavery associated with globalization (cf. K. Bales, "Disposable People") is a modern scourge protected by powerful economic interests, Cairnes provides an abolitionist weapon of permanent value.
2 of 4 people found the following review helpful. History -- Or Fiction By R. DILGER John Cairnes, a British contemporary economist of the time, wrote his work in 1862 attempting to explain how the Slave Power (the plantation aristocracy of the South) conspired over a period of 50 years prior to the Civil War to promote slavery as a protected, "peculiar institution" in the whole United States. Much of what Cairnes says is absolutely true and historically supported. Some of his contentions are subjective and can not be proven in fact or historical reflection. The introduction of the recent edition, written by Mark Smith, points out numerous errors and inconsistencies that crept into the work in 1862. John Cairnes, himself, is very redundant. He repeats his position and explanations to the point of distraction. Add the historical inconsistencies and this work is best suited as a research document for an experienced Civil War history afficiencado.
