From the Paper:

""An Empire For Slavery," by Randolph B. Campbell informs the reader of general information and misconceptions during the brief, but important history of slaves in the state of Texas. Morally opposed to slavery, Campbell, by no means tries to attack or side with either institution, yet recognizes the unique history of the antebellum South, with which "An Empire For Slavery" is based upon. Campbell's devotion to his work is truly seen throughout the book in his attempt to seek, describe, and interpret the institution with out any certain theoretical model."
