Slavery, the Constitution and Frederick Douglass: What was The New York Times thinking?

Frederick Douglass
The question at the center of the book is whether the Constitution should be viewed as a pro-slavery or anti-slavery document. And the reviewer, the historian Gordon S. Wood, never mentions Frederick Douglass. Good Lord. If there was one central takeaway from David Blight’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom” (2018), it’s that Douglass embraced the Constitution as a weapon with which to fight slavery, breaking with William Lloyd Garrison, who thought the Constitution was irredeemable.

In his illuminating and accessible new book, James Oakes, an acclaimed historian of emancipation, offers us a third Lincoln : neither the mythic Great Emancipator nor a flawed reluctant emancipator, but instead a committed proponent of antislavery constitutionalism.
Lincoln, Oakes argues in The Crooked Path to Abolition: Abraham Lincoln and the Antislavery Constitution, consistently upheld the federal consensus on slavery: that Congress could not abolish slavery in any state but also could not interfere with a state s choice to emancipate enslaved people. Within these constitutional boundaries, Lincoln pursued, before and during the Civil War, the goal of abolition by individual states.

A 'crooked path' to constitutionalism

It was not long after the federal Constitution was created in 1787 that many antislavery Northerners began labelling it a pro-slavery document. Parts of it did support slavery the clause that counted a slave as three-fifths of a person, which gave the slave states greater representation in Congress and the Electoral College than opponents of slavery believed they deserved; and the fugitive slave clause, which required persons held to service who had escaped to free states to be returned to their owners.
We have long known of this pro-slavery view of the Constitution, one that has been much emphasised at the present time. In ....
