Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Special Message of His Excellency Joseph E. Brown, to the Legislature: Upon the Subjects of Conscription, Martial Law, Habeas Corpus and the Impressment of Private Property by Confederate Officers, November 6th, 1862 To the Senate and House of Representatives: The great struggle for liberty and independence in which we have been engaged during the past year, against a powerful and relentless enemy, has called not only for the exercise of the united energies of our whole people, but for the most costly sacrifices of blood and treasure. When we look at the material of which the armies of the contending parties are composed, we can but exclaim, how unequal the contest! In the armies of the South are found her noblest and best sons, whose valor upon the battle field has been unsurpassed, and whose blood in abundant profusion has been poured out, a rich sacrifice upon the altar of liberty. The Northern armies, on the contrary, have been composed, in a great degree, of imported foreigners and paupers, and of the worst classes of Northern society, who have served as mercenaries, and whose destruction, in many instances, has been rather a relief than a misfortune to society. But the contrast does not stop here. The motives which prompt the people of the two sections to protect the war, are as different as the material of which the two armies are composed, is unlike. The people of the North are fighting for power and plunder, the people of the South for the liberty and the independence of themselves and their posterity. Our enemies have it in their power to stop the war whenever they are content to do justice and let us alone. We can never stop fighting while they continue to attempt our subjugation, but must prosecute the war with vigor, if necessary, to the expenditure of the last dollar and the destruction of the last man, If we are subjugated, let it be only when we are exterminated. We were born free; and though it be upon the battle field, we should die free. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
