From jacket: "(Author and) Historian Frederick Merk focuses on the intricate maneuverings of President Tyler and his colleagues to reverse the policies of three previous Administrations and, without reference to public opinion, move toward the annexation of Texas. The nationwide crisis that exploded over the Texas problem in 1844 - Tyler's last year in office - is explored and analyzed in all its aspects: the rumors circulated by the Administration that the British were conniving at an abolitionized Texas; the concurrent fears of northern Whigs and Democrats that a powerful slave state would be added to the Union... (This book) stresses the central position of slavery and racism in the annexation crisis and shows the Senate bitterly contesting extensions of executive power..." Ex-library with typical treatments; many blacked out. Jacket is covered with mylar and has a two inch tear to mylar and half inch tear to jacket underneath on back cover; tape used to hold jacket on has tanned and left transfer marks on inside covers and endpapers.
