- Summary:
- "'The Abominable Slavery' places the debate over Native American indentures and African American enslavement in Utah Territory within the context of the nation's growing sectional divide that would tear the Union assunder less than a decade later. It situates the bills under debate in Utah in comparison to similar bills passed by other states and territories in the antebellum period."--Publisher.
