The Slaughterhouse Cases: Regulation, Reconstruction, and the Fourteenth Amendment - Landmark Law Cases and American Society
Ronald M. Labbe
The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1868, sought to protect the rights of the newly freed slaves; but its first important test - centered on a vitriolic dispute among the white butchers of mid-Reconstruction New Orleans - did not arise until five years later. This is a guide to one of the US Supreme Court's most famous cases.
