Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Key to the Disunion Conspiracy: The Partisan Leader The reader will learn from the following pages that the fratricidal contest into which our country has been led is not a thing of chance, but of deliberate design, and that it has been gradually preparing for almost thirty years. The dark plotters of South Carolina and Virginia, who in 1832 and 1833 were defeated in their nullification and disunion schemes by the fidelity and decision of Jackson, though abashed and discomfited, did not relinquish their purpose, notwithstanding they changed their plans. At first they resolved on organizing a direct resistance to the Federal authority throughout the South as soon as the "Southern heart" could be "fired" for that purpose; but, fearing a second reverse from the popularity of the Democratic party, they veered from a policy of open assault against that party and the Union, to one of sapping and mining both. Hence Mr. Calhoun and his secession allies, in 1837, joined the Democratic party, that from 1833 to 1836 they had hated and denounced. By little and little the Secessionists, after having attained admission to its counsels, modified the policy of the party, continually changing it more and more in conformity with their own ideas. Thus it was in pursuit of aims, purely Southern and sectional, that the Mexican province of Texas was overrun and conquered by American adventurers in 1835 and 1836; that Texas was annexed in 1845; and that the war with Mexico was inaugurated. It was to subserve Southern, and eventually Disunion, purposes that the Missouri Compromise was repealed, and all the evil enginery of Lecomptonism put into operation.
