Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rebellion: Its Consequences, and the Congressional Committee, Denominated the Reconstruction Committee, With Their Action Southern efforts to establish a separate Government having failed, its advocates have submitted in good faith, perfectly convinced of the ruinous course pursued by leading politicians, which has entailed on them the penalty of being heavily taxed to pay the enormous debt created to controvert their efforts; the loss of all their interest in slaves; deprivation forever of their constitutional right to benefit by slave labor; the loss of health, limb and life; and, finally, in most eases, reduced from affluence to insolvency; to all of which they submitted without a murmur. And while the victors insist that the secession ordinances -were nullities, and that they sacrificed billions of money and hundreds of thousands of lives to preserve the Union, that we are out of it, and to be taxed without representation; and yet they do not tell us how we got out, or what is the value of their victory if they failed in its preservation. The great body of those who embarked in the war on the Southern side, particularly the young men, believed they had a right to defend the Southern institutions; that the North designed emancipation in violation of the Constitution. Hence, they committed no moral offence - motive being the gist of all crime. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
