Slave Power is professor Akhil Reed Amar's pejorative - but deserved, and accurate - description of the corrupting influence that slavery had on the nascent American Republic. He references various constitutional structures that either explicitly or implicitly favored the South, and the "slave power" that it represented. The Thirteenth through Fifteenth Amendments represented the final termination of the "slave power" in the United States, after the Civil War.
