Focusing on the making and meaning of the Thirteenth Amendment, Final Freedom looks at the struggle among legal thinkers, politicians, and ordinary Americans in the North and the border states to find a way to abolish slavery that would overcome the inadequacies of the Emancipation Proclamation. The book tells the dramatic story of the creation of a constitutional amendment and reveals an unprecedented transformation in American race relations, politics, and constitutional thought. Using a wide array of archival and published sources, Professor Vorenberg argues that the crucial consideration of emancipation occurred after, not before, the Emancipation Proclamation; that the debate over final freedom was shaped by a level of volatility in party politics underestimated by prior historians; and that the abolition of slavery by constitutional amendment represented a novel method of reform that transformed attitudes toward the Constitution. 410 0$aCambridge historical studies in American law and society. 606 $aSlaves$xEmancipation$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aConstitutional history$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xAfrican Americans 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1861-1865 615 0$aSlaves$xEmancipation 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 615 0$aConstitutional history 676 $a973.7/14 700 $aVorenberg$b Michael$f1964-$01040752 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449871003321 996 $aFinal freedom$92463878 997 $aUNINA
