Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sectional Struggle: An Account of the Troubles Between the North and the South, From the Earliest Times to the Close of the Civil War; First Period Ending With the Compromise of 1833, Part Concerning the Early Tariffs and Nullification A full-length view of the long political and constitutional struggle between the North and the South is a desideratum in American history. The time has perhaps come when the more thoughtful people of both sections are ready to receive the story of the first part of that great conflict of ideas. The qualifications of an historian of a civil contest having many phases and stretching over a vast period are the high qualifications of candor, impartiality, calmness, courage, love of truth for its own sake, ability to see facts from all sides, and skill and power to express them in their proper connection with ease, dignity, clearness, precision, and force. Feeling the lack of some of these qualifications, but imbued with a deep sense of their value and of the importance of consecration in such a work, I have devoted my spare time from professional labor for many years to the collection of materials and the composition therefrom of an elaborate account of the sectional troubles in this country from a time anterior to the formation of the present governments to the adoption of the tariff compromise of 1833. This is equivalent to making a natural division of the sectional struggle into three parts: 1. That from 1787, or earlier, to 1833. 2. That from 1833 to 1850, the era of the second great slavery compromise after the inauguration of the present Federal government, that of 1820 being the first. 3. That from the compromise of 1850 to the close of the Civil War. Some materials for a history of the second period have been accumulated; but that is an independent work.
