| Content Description | Begins with an act prohibiting slavery in the Territory of Nebraska. Black, Governor of the Nebraska Territory, returns the act unsigned with a message to the House of Representatives: "You have assumed the power and asserted the policy of an unqualified and immediate interdiction of slavery within this Territory. I dissent both as to the power assumed and the policy of the prohibition. My objections to your power to prohibit slavery or to abolish it, which were submitted a year ago, are strengthened, in my own mind by reflection, and remain unchanged." "Gov: Blacks Vote" written in ink at the top of title page. |
