SUMMARY:The Creation of a Crusader: Senator Thomas Morris and the Birth of the Antislavery Movement
DESCRIPTION:Morris was the first member of the US Senate to defend 
 abolitionist positions in that body. Confronted with Southern demands for 
 Congressional action to silence abolitionists and endorse slavery\, he 
 asserted that a proslavery interpretation of the Constitution was a 
 distortion of the text. Instead\, he argued\, the Constitution neither 
 identified people as property nor granted Congress the power to establish 
 slavery in the territories or the District of Columbia. Although far 
 outside the 1830s political consensus\, Morris’s ideas were quickly 
 adopted by the nascent antislavery movement and became the cornerstone of 
 antislavery political beliefs.
