Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of the Hon. Montgomery Blair, on the Causes of the Rebellion and in Support of the President´s Plan of Pacification: Delivered Before the Legislature of Maryland, at Annapolis, on the 22d of January, 1864 Fellow Citizens: - The President´s recent message manifests his continued solicitude for your interests. He says: "The movements by State action for emancipation in several of the States, not included in the emancipation proclamation, are matters of profound gratulation. And while I do not repeat in detail what I have heretofore so earnestly urged upon this subject, my general views and feelings remain unchanged; and I trust that Congress will omit no fair opportunity of aiding those important steps to a great consummation." This is a renewed effort to redeem the pledge given in his emancipation proclamation and in a former message to Congress, to exert all his power to indemnify every loyal citizen for losses of slaves sustained from the acts of the Government in prosecuting the war. The proclamation of amnesty appended to the late message extends the benefit of the indemnity proclaimed previously to that white class once embarked in the secession cause, but that now abandons it and takes the oath of loyalty and adhesion to the Constitution, the leaders of the rebellion only excepted. This is more than a pardon; not only does the President spare the lives of the unfortunate dupes of conspirators, but he restores them their property.
