As in the companion set, Southern Slaves in Free State Courts, some pamphlets were part of the public debate over judicial decisions.

"These...volumes belong in every library used for research, and in particular at all law school libraries. They will prove valuable to historians, lawyers, law teachers and students, and all persons interested in the problems of slavery and race in American experience.": William M.
