Jefferson-Lemen Compact

Jefferson-Lemen Compact

by Willard C. MacNaul

Jefferson-Lemen Compact chronicles the agreement between Thomas Jefferson and James Lemen Sr., in which Lemen agreed to pursue an anti-slavery cause in the Northwest Territory. The book delves into the efforts of Lemen Sr. over ten years, leading to the establishment of his Baptist Church and involvement in the Baptist Association's campaign for a free state during the Illinois Constitutional Convention. It highlights the recognition given to Lemen Jr. by President Lincoln, who acknowledged his father's contributions in setting the stage for Illinois' status as a free state.
