Inconsistency and Hypocrisy of Martin Van Buren on the Question of Slavery.
n.p. n.d. [1848]. 1st ed. Paperback. 16p. Tied wrapper. 23 cm. Stain in upper right corner. Dog-earing and modest wrinkling. Back page heavily browned; others pages much less browned. Van Buren's temporary emergence as a committed anti-slavery advocate in 1848 garnered about 10% of the national vote but he soon returned rather meekly to the Democratic fold and faithfully supported the candidacies of Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan and Stephen A. Douglas. Van Buren is often regarded as America's first Presidential mediocrity. Good. Item #89802
