text
  • The Majority of Minnesotan opposed making slavery legal in their territory. Some wanted the practice abolished nationwide, but most opponents simply did not want the economic competition that slavery threatened. Minnesota's government officials did not want wealthy slaveholders to replace them as the territory's political leaders, and working-class laborers did not want competition with slave labor to cause their wages to decline.

Repeatedly attacked in writing by the abolitionist newspaper publisher Jane Swisshelm, he found his political influence reduced. He started a rival paper The Union, which became the St. Cloud Times. He died young in 1865. (en)
