This book examines emancipation after the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. Focusing on the making and meaning of the Thirteenth Amendment, Final Freedom looks at the struggle among legal thinkers, politicians, and ordinary Americans in the North and the border states to find a way to abolish slavery that would overcome the inadequacies of the Emancipation Proclamation. The book tells the dramatic story of the creation of a constitutional amendment and reveals an unprecedented transformation in American race relations, politics, and constitutional thought. Using a wide array of archival and published sources, Professor Vorenberg argues that the crucial consideration of emancipation occurred after, not before, the Emancipation Proclamation; that the debate over final freedom was shaped by a level of volatility in party politics underestimated by prior historians; and that the abolition of slavery by constitutional amendment represented a novel method of reform that transformed attitudes toward the Constitution.
“通过重构(recreating)该修正案起草、辩论以及最终接受的现场氛围,尝试着把它置入其适当的历史语境”,进而实现对美国内战史传统观点的一种“纠偏”,强调第十三修正案并非《解放宣言》后一个“不出所料的收场白”(predictable epilogue),而是共和党人、北方民主党人等诸多势力互动而诞生的一个难以预料的副产品(by-product),从此以后则开启了以宪法修正案推动宪制转型的模式。但也正因为其背后缺乏一个主导而明确的意旨,第十三修正案的文本意涵在此后也引起了相当大的争议。
