Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Secret and Political History of the War of the Rebellion: The Causes Leading Thereto, and the Effects, Showing How Abraham Lincoln Came to Be President of the United States, Exposing the Secret Working and Conspiring of Those in Power, and the Motive and Purpose of Prolonging the War for Four Years!, With Additi To the people of the United States in particular, and to the world in general, this history is most respectfully dedicated. My greatest desire is that the time may come, when every person will read it. It has often, in years past, been remarked and published, that some time in the future a history would be written giving the secret of the treatment of many of the commanding officers, and the cause for the prolongation of the war. Abbott, in his history, says that "Not until the secret political history of the Rebellion, which unmasks hearts and exhibits motives, shall be written, can this question be fully answered, why General Fremont was treated in the manner in which he was." Charles L. Webster & Co. speak of McClellan´s own story as divulging the secret, which puts nearly, or quite, all the blame and responsibility upon Secretary Stanton, and there lies the great mistake. Neither Secretary Stanton, nor his associates in the Cabinet, had but very little, if anything, to do with the mean, unjust, and ungenerous treatment of the generals in command, as the future pages of this history will show. This is written regardless of fear or favor; it is written, not in a spirit of malice or vindictiveness, but in the cause of truth, justice and vindication. The Lincoln and Republican administration showed no mercy, and spared none, and history will not spare them, but will differ from them in this respect; they falsified, vilified and slandered, while history always adheres strictly to the truth. This is not written for the benefit of a sectional faction of blind fanatics, but for the world at large, which will pronounce the verdict.
