Written during a pivotal moment in America's westward expansion, this book offers an engaging and well-reasoned argument against the annexation of Texas. Author Theodore Sedgwick contends that such a move would only serve to deepen the tensions between the North and South, and that the government should prioritize the interests of the Union as a whole over individual states.
