Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Security and Reconciliation for the Future, Propositions and Arguments on the Reorganization of the Rebel States Perversely and pitifully you postpone that save period of reconciliation, not only between the two sections - not only between the men of the North and the men of the South - but, more beautiful still, between the slave and his master, without which that true tranquillity, which we all seek, cannot be permanently assured to our country. Believe it; only through such reconciliation, under the sanction of Freedom, can you remove all occasion of contention hereafter; only in this way can you cut off the head of this great rebellion, and at the same time extirpate that principle of evil, which, if allowed to remain, must shoot forth in perpetual discord, if not in other rebellions; only in this way can you command that safe victory - without which this contest will be vain - which will have among its conquests Indemnity for the Past and Security for the Future - the noblest indemnity and the strongest security ever won - because founded in the redemption of a race. It will not be enough if we comply with certain forms or constitute a State in name only. Much more must be done, and all this must be placed under fixed and irreversible guarantees. Vain will be victory on the battle-field if these guarantees are not obtained. It is to make these possible that our armies are now engaged in the deadly shock. It is in order that the future at least may be secure, that the present is given over to blood and slaughter - to graves and epitaphs. And here is the difference between your responsibilities and those of the soldier. The latter sees only the present; but you must see the future also. The soldier meets the enemy face to face. The statesman, by wise precautions, provides that the enemy once conquered shall never rise again. Vain is the work of the soldier, if it be not consummated and crowned by the wisdom of the statesman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
