This is the complete text of Horace Mann's speech delivered to the House of Representatives on June 30, 1848, concerning the power of Congress to legislate for the territories of the United States, specifically regarding the exclusion of slavery. In his speech, Mann presents a powerful argument against the expansion of slavery, rooted in legal, moral, and historical considerations. As a prominent educational reformer and anti-slavery advocate, Mann's address provides valuable insight into the political debates surrounding slavery during a critical period in American history. "Speech of Mr. Horace Mann..." serves as a vital historical document for understanding the complexities of the slavery issue and the arguments of those who sought to prevent its spread.
