''An Appeal to the People of Massachusetts on the Texas Question'' by George Allen.

A minister from Shrewsbury, Allen helped his brother Charles found the short-lived Free Soil Party. Despite his efforts, in 1845 Texas was annexed as the 28th state, with a constitution allowing for slavery. Pamphlet measures 5.75'' x 9''. Small tape mark to cover and some soiling. Excellent.
