Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Condensed History of the War, Its Causes and Results: Plain Home-Told Facts for the Young Men and Working Men of the United States The cause of the late unequal conflict was the negro. His labor, in States where slave labor was profitable, enriched those States, and made them great. The owners of slaves were, by many Northern people, called aristocrats, and the minds of the young men and working men of the North were filled by New England with poison against aristocracy, on the ground that it came in conflict with free white labor. The North began agitation of the slavery question with a view to the abolition of that evil. The people of the South who helped frame the Constitution, and who shed their blood in its defence, objected to the national agitation of a local question. They said, with truth, that the Constitution they helped make protected them in their State rights and labor legislation - they asked that the bargain made between the Northern and Southern States in time of common danger, when each State stood and fought to defend the others, be honored. But the North said it did not like the old bargain. That times had changed; that slavery was barbarous. That there existed in the South an aristocracy that grew more wealthy each year from slave labor. That the poor blacks of the South, by labor, paid all the taxes, but enjoyed none of the fruits of their labor. The idea that it was wicked to make laws to protect an aristocracy in America took root with the people - the tide of agitation grew stronger - the North threatened a civil war in the South - sent rifles and men into Kansas to begin a trouble - sent John Brown, a common horse thief, but a man of dogged determination and insane ideas, into Virginia to arm the negroes and incite them into an insurrection, which Northern Abolitionists hoped would destroy the Union. The South, tortured, insulted, driven to madness, anxious to be released from the original compact, sought to draw out from the Union partnership, as the North had said the South was an expense to the North, and should be out. The South fired on our flag began a war for her independence, which, if successful, would have resulted in a dissolution of the Union, and the destruction of the Federal compact and Constitution.
