"Only the principle of the concurrent majority -- a veto which each major interest could exercise over policies directly affecting it -- could reestablish this constitutional balance." [Eric Foner, Politics and Ideology in The Age of the Civil War] — PolitiTweet.org

"The South had become a permanent and shrinking minority within the nation. And in the majority section, anti-slavery sentiment had expanded at a phenomenal rate." [Eric Foner, Politics and Ideology in The Age of the Civil War] — PolitiTweet.org
