A native Southerner, he was a former slave owner and Confederate soldier, but as a member of Congress Hilliard strongly opposed secession. Hilliard supported the constitutional legality of slavery; however, as a moderate he acknowledged the status quo and warned of the dangers of radical positions concerning the issue.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Throughout a diverse career that spanned six decades, Hilliard’s personal challenges, moderated by his faith in Divine Providence, eventually allowed him to return to his ideological roots and find a sense of redemption late in life by becoming an unlikely spokesman for the Brazilian emancipation movement through his association with Joaquim Nabuco. In \u003ci\u003eA Journey in Brazil\u003c\/i\u003e, authors David I. Durham and Paul M. Pruitt Jr. establish context for Hilliard’s beliefs, document his journey in Brazil, and offer a variety of primary documents—selections from newspapers, transcripts of letters, translations of speeches, and other documents that have never before been published.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbout\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eOccasional Publications of the Bounds Law Library\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This collection offers a series of edited documents that contribute to an understanding of the development of legal history, culture, or doctrine.
