Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Southern Question Past and Present Mr. President and Grentlemen of the Historical Society, - When our fathers gave slavery recognition in the United States Constitution they provided a curse for our inheritance. It retarded our national growth, it debauched public opinion, it developed prejudice against the negro that turned men into devils. It established and maintained an oligarchy in the South before which Northern statesmen crouched like whipped spaniels. When at last the suppression of abolitionists and the complete overthrow of freedom was presented to us as the only alternative to a disruption of the Union, even such men as Abraham Lincoln hastened to assure the haughty slavemasters of their willingness to bind their wretched victims with heavier manacles. The war for the preservation of the Union began in 1861. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
