Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Experiences in the Civil War When the War broke out I was in business in State street, Chicago, as a grocer and butcher. We all thought the first six months would put an end to the War; that the first quota of men, which was seventy-five thousand, would be a sufficient number, but we found we had miscalculated the strength of the South. Abraham Lincoln had to issue a proclamation for six hundred thousand. Then he issued another proclamation, that every slave that came within the reach of the army should be free. He gave the South three months to make up their minds. It was the opinion of most people they would come in as they were, and enjoy all the rights they ever had, but they saw all the Western States were being settled by the free North. Now they knew, with no more territory than they had in the South, slavery would be no good to them, so they decided to fight it to the bitter end. Up to this time we had no success, but when the three months were ended and we had started again, we had success.
