Description
1864 John Jay Second Letter on Federalist American Constitution Civil War Dawson



John Jay II (1817–1894) was the grandson of Chief Justice of the same name. He was a diplomat and anti-slavery activist elected president of the New York Young Men's Antislavery Society while still in college. He published several speeches and pamphlets on slavery and history, and was elected in 1889 as president of the American Historical Association.



Jay defended numerous fugitive slaves in court and helped several gain freedom. In 1852 Jay led a team of attorneys in Lemmon v. New York, gaining the freedom of eight Virginia slaves. In 1854 Jay was among the founders of the Republican Party in the United States.



‘Mr. Jay’s second letter on Dawson’s introduction to the Federalist’ is a response to Henry Dawson’s publication in the paper ‘The Federalist.’ Jay denounces Dawson’s publication claiming anti-union sentiment seeking to cause division amidst the American people.
