Excerpt from Sketches of the Great Battles in 1861, in the Confederate States of America: Sumter, Bethel, Manassas, Springfield, Hatteras, Lexington, Leesburg, Port Royal, Columbus or Belmont, Also, Sketches of Jefferson Davis and A. H. Stephens The Year 1861, will be memorable in all time to come, in the history of our country. The great Union of the United States, which was formed by our forefathers, and cemented by their best blood, was dissolved. A grand Confederation was established in the South, composed of the slave-holding States, and they, thus separated from the Northern States, formed a Republic of their own, under the name of the "Confederate States of America." The Union of these States then composed one of the greatest nations of the earth. The United States was known wherever civilization had found its way, as the glorious land of liberty - the asylum for the oppressed, and the home for the stranger. But this happy state of peace and prosperity was brought suddenly to an end, by a sectional spirit which arose in the North in regard to slavery, an institution peculiar only to the Southern States. In 1856, a party was formed in the North, known as the Black Republicans. The principles of this party was an entire abolition of slavery in the United States. John C. Fremont was nominated on their sectional ticket for President, and received a considerable vote, but was defeated. In 1860, their number had increased to an alarming rate. Three Presidential candidates being in the field opposed to their principles, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, was elected President of the United States by this party. The principles of the Black Republican party were known to be hostile to slavery, as the leaders of this party had over and over again avowed it to be their intention to abolish it in the United States so soon as they had the power. This alarming stale of affairs caused the South to look to their rights in this matter, and prepare for defence. No other alternative was left for the Southern States but to secede peaceably from the Union and protect their rights and property as freemen. The State of South Carolina taking the lead, passed an ordinance of secession, and declared herself forever separated from the Union of the States.
