Per Volume * The Congressional Globe is the third in a series of four publications containing the debates of Congress (The Globe was preceded by the Annals of Congress and the Register of Debates, and succeeded by the Congressional Record. Although widely distributed when originally published, most sets are now becoming very brittle and may be incomplete. During the period of The Congressional Globe, the U.S. Congress faced increasingly complex issues as the young nation's economy began to expand as a result of the Industrial Revolution and a growing population. Pressure to distribute the nation's prosperity equally, combined with a desire for territorial expansion, regional differences related to foreign trade, and the continuing debate over slavery pushed the nation to Civil War. As a result, the role of Congress changed considerably during this time period, with new laws on homesteading, railroads, banking and land-grant colleges laying the foundation for the post-Civil War era. Reconstruction brought tremendous achievements as well as additional tensions; with the first African-American Congressman and the first impeachment of a President. Adapted from Dec. 14, 2006.
