| gag rule, in U.S. history, any of a
series of congressional resolutions that tabled, without discussion,
petitions regarding slavery ; passed by the House of Representatives between
1836 and 1840 and repealed in 1844. Abolition petitions, signed by more than
2,000,000 persons, had inundated Congress after the establishment of the
American Anti-Slavery Society (1833). Gag rules, supported by proslavery
congressmen, postponed the consideration, printing, and referral of such
petitions. Repeal was secured by a House group led by the former president John
Quincy Adams and Joshua R. Giddings. (see also abolitionism)¡¡ |
