Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Glance at Current American History On the general merits, or rather demerits, of The South it is quite evident that the outside world has made up its mind. The "accepted fable" or "distillation of rumors" which we call History, has fully crystallized, and there is not the least ground for supposing that there will be any revision of the judgment already pronounced. For two-and-thirty years our Northern friends have deprecated any allusion on our part to the causes or character of the war, assuring us that every impulse of manhood and every throb of patriotism demanded that we should bury the past, with all its illusive hopes and unavailing griefs, and bend our undivided energies to the upbuilding of a common country. And that is precisely the thing which we have been doing. Meantime, during those same two-and-thirty years, those Northern friends of ours have been diligent in a systematic distortion of the leading facts of American history - inventing, suppressing, perverting, without scruple or shame - until our Southland stands to-day pilloried to the scorn of all the world and bearing on her front the brand of every infamy.
