Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Geographical, Statistical and Ethical View: Of the American Slaveholders Rebellion The great error of the United States government, in its attempt to put down the Slaveholders´ Rebellion, obviously has been bad general strategy, arising from a failure to take a simple, comprehensive view of the country and people to be subdued. Who are the rebels, and where do they live? We all know that the great slaveholders in the states east of the Mississippi River, are the life and soul of the rebellion. Now these great slaveholders are not, as is commonly imagined, spread almost equally over the whole territory of the States in which they reside, but are confined to a narrow strip of country, extending, in the shape of a horseshoe, along the coast of the Atlantic on the east, the Gulf of Mexico on the south, and the eastern banks of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, on the west. This horseshoe-shaped country is scarcely anywhere more than 200 miles wide, while the line of its outer border, which also passes through or near almost every one of its principal cities, viz.: Alexandria, Richmond, and Norfolk, in Virginia; Newbern and Wilmington, in North Carolina; Charleston, in South Carolina; Savannah, in Georgia; Pensacola, in Florida; Mobile, in Alabama; New Orleans, in Louisiana; Natchez and Vicksburg, in Mississippi; Memphis and Nashville, in Tennessee; and Columbus and Louisville, in Kentucky, is nearly 2,000 miles long.
