""The Repeal of the Missouri Compromise, Its Origin and Authorship"" is a historical book written by P. Orman Ray in 1909. The book delves into the origins and authorship of the Missouri Compromise, a legislation passed in 1820 that allowed Missouri to enter the United States as a slave state, while Maine entered as a free state.

He explores the roles of individuals such as Thomas Jefferson, Henry Clay, and Stephen Douglas, and their differing views on slavery and its expansion. The book also discusses the events leading up to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise in 1854, which ultimately led to the outbreak of the Civil War. Ray provides a detailed analysis of the political maneuvering and debates that took place in Congress, as well as the public reaction to the repeal.Overall, ""The Repeal of the Missouri Compromise, Its Origin and Authorship"" offers a comprehensive and insightful look into one of the most significant pieces of legislation in American history, and its impact on the nation's political and social landscape.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
