Journey back a century and a half back in time to one of the most significant meetings in US history, without which more than half of the American population wouldn't be allowed to vote.


The Proceedings is so detailed and lively it's going to make you feel as if you were sitting among the congressmen. Addressing a sensitive issue back then, the right of African Americans to vote, the pamphlet "is not only highly interesting, but useful and important to all who have true interests of the rights and privileges of citizens at heart."


Witness groundbreaking arguments in the speeches of a pioneering abolitionist, a prominent political author, and one of the youngest elected governors in US history, rising in Louisiana and later becoming a matter of national importance. "The registration is not intended for Louisiana, but for the national congress."


Gain insight on historic acts of fighting for freedom and democracy, and shocking ones of racism and treason.
