This volume presents a detailed, verbatim report of the National Free Soil Convention held in Buffalo, New York, in August 1848. As recorded by Oliver Dyer using phonographic techniques, the proceedings offer a unique window into the political debates and fervent atmosphere of the era. The Free Soil Party, advocating against the expansion of slavery into newly acquired territories, brought together a diverse coalition of reformers, abolitionists, and disaffected members of other political groups.
Dyer's meticulous record captures the speeches, resolutions, and passionate exchanges that defined the convention. This historical document is invaluable for understanding the complex political landscape leading up to the Civil War and the emergence of anti-slavery sentiment as a potent force in American politics. "Oliver Dyer's Phonographic Report" offers researchers and history enthusiasts direct access to the voices and arguments that shaped this pivotal moment in American history.
