The Slaughterhouse Cases: Regulation, Reconstruction and the Fourteenth Amendment
Jonathan Lurie
The Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, ratified in 1868, sought to protect the rights of newly freed slaves, but it was first put to the test in a row between the butchers and state of New Orleans five years later. This study analyses the case and the controversial Supreme Court decision.
