Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Drummer Boy of the Shenandoah Scene I. - Front Street. Senators Toombs, Wigfall and Stevens, discovered. Toombs. But sir the steps we are taking are fraught with danger to the country. Mark my words, a long and bloody war may he the consequence. Wigfall. There is, gentlemen, no alternative. It is the unanimous vote of the convention, and unless we proceed accordingly, it will bring a lasting dishonor upon the South, and we shall be bullied by those northern menials more than ever. Toombs. If, through the seceding of the southern states, a war is brought on, who, I ask, is to answer for the lives that must be sacrificed? I never have believed in resorting to such extreme measures for party aggrandisement. It is detestable in the sight of Heaven. Wigfall. I do not apprehend anything of the kind. What can the North do? they have no munitions of war left, their arsenals are all empty, their military power is so disabled they cannot fight if they are so disposed. Toombs. Believe me, gentlemen, there are men in the north who will not submit to the loss of a single state from the Union. Mark me, my words are prophetic.
