Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wanderer Case: The Speech of Hon. Henry R. Jackson of Savannah, Ga Quite a number of good people have responded to my inquiry for General Jackson´s address on the Wanderer. It is gratifying to know that so many were impressed by it and preserved it for reference or for their children. The true history of Southern slavery was known before the war to the old men who owned slaves, and to them only; and as they constituted only one-seventh (1-7)of the voting population, the other six-sevenths (6-7)knew but little and cared less. This history passed almost into oblivion with the passing away of slavery. It is indeed amazing that out of every hundred soldiers who volunteered to defend our cause, eighty-five of them had no interest in the negro, and would not have put their own lives in peril to perpetuate slavery. The proportion of non-slaveholding privates was indeed much greater, for but few of them were made officers, and I know of one company of eighty-five good men from Murray county, without a slave-holder among the privates. It was enough for them to know that our great men, our statesmen and leaders, declared and believed that the Republican party had violated the constitution and the laws, and defied the decision of the Supreme Court and proclaimed a higher law. That their leaders had armed, aided and abetted John Brown to raise an insurrection in Virginia among the slaves and incite them to nameless and outrageous crimes, and so these good and true men volunteered and fought just as our forefathers fought who resisted a little tax on tea when not one in a thousand drank it. They fought for principle and not for plunder. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
