Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Given at a Meeting of the Colorado Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States: Denver, Colorado; September 7, 1909 "Man´s inhumanity to man, Makes countless thousands mourn." General Sherman said to the Mayor of Atlanta: "War is cruelty; you cannot refine it." My experience and observation in Kansas and Missouri, in the early days and on down through the war, compels me to give unqualified assent to the sentiment thus expressed by General Sherman. The Kansas-Nebraska bill became a law May 30th, 1854. That law legalized slavery in the territory of Kansas from which it had been excluded since 1820. The Missouri border had been peaceful during all that time, but now the scene suddenly shifted. Within ten days after the passage of that bill the hitherto peaceful border became the scene of wild fanaticism, intimidation and terrorism. The struggle was on to make Kansas a slave state. Freedom upon one side and slavery on the other, with all the power of the national government on the side of slavery. The world will never know, nor duly appreciate how much it owes to Kansas for the heroic part it played in the great tragedy. The free state men did not strive for the abolition of slavery in the slave states - only to make Kansas a free-state. For this they prayed; for this they fought; for this they sacrificed.
