Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Conditions of Reconstruction: In a Letter From Robert Dale Owen to the Secretary of State To the Honorable William II. Seward, Secretary of State: Sir: Yon have reminded us that peace must come some time, and that conferences, in some shape, must precede or attend it. We do well to bear this in mind, and to inspect, beforehand, the ground which we shall by-and-by be called upon to tread. There must, at last, be certain conditions of peace. You have intimated your preference for the Halls of Congress (the vacant seats once more filled) as the constitutional forum best suited for conferences of pacification. The vacant seats once more filled! That is desirable, no doubt - under certain conditions; and of all the preliminaries of peace, none are so important as these. The men who shall fill those vacant seats will hold in their hands the balance of legislative power. Who are constitutionally entitled to fill them? The Supreme Court has decided, by a unanimous vote, that since the passage of a law (sometimes called the "Non-Intercourse law"), approved July 13, 1861, the inhabitants of the insurrectionary portions of the Union are public enemies; not the disloyal alone, not those who have taken up arras alone, but all.
