This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1861-1865 Incidents of the Civil War During the Four Years of Its Progress The government made no effort to check the warlike proceedings throughout the South, and as the term of service of President Buchanan drew to a close, much anxiety was felt about the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln. Happily, this took place without violent demonstrations. Meanwhile the Rebels had been busy with their preparations, and the batteries in Charleston harbor being in readiness, they opened fire on Fort Sumter, April 12th, at 4 o'clock in the morning. How the news of this attack, and the events that followed, were received throughout the country, the feelings and sentiments of different people during the succeeding months and years, are best told by clippings from the newspapers, as they were issued just at the time the episodes were passing.

Download or read book A People s Contest written by Phillip Shaw Paludan and published by HarperCollins Publishers. This book was released on 1988 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A People's Contest" explores the interrelationships between the two great events of nineteenth-century America: the Civil War and the Industrial Revolution. It describes how the North redefined itself as a modern nation through the war and the vast economic and social changes that accompanied it. Much of the story is told through the lives and writings of individuals, many of them little known and some -- Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, and Emily Dickinson -- familiar to us all. The book weaves together insights drawn from literature, economics, diplomacy, law, and religion to place the war in the context of the larger transformations of the age and show why it remains the nation's most compelling experience. -- From publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Civil War: 1861-1865 This is not an abridgment of my three volumes on the Civil War but a fresh study of the subject in which I have used my work as one of many authorities. Whenever I have transferred sentences, paragraphs and pages, I have done so because, after a study of the original authorities, I found that I could give my conclusions no better than in my first work. Since writing the three volumes, published respectively in 1895, 1899 and 1904, much new original material has come to light and valuable treatments of certain periods of the Civil War have appeared. I owe especial indebtedness to the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies; Diary of Gideon Welles; Life of Rawlins, which J. H. Wilson kindly permitted me to read in manuscript before publication; the Letters and Diaries of John Hay; Miss Nicolay's Personal Traits of Lincoln; Life and Letters of General Meade; W. R. Livermore, Story of the Civil War; J. Bigelow, Jr., The Campaign of Chancellorsville; W. R. Thayer, Life of John Hay; The Reminiscences of Carl Schurz. I owe a literary revision of this volume to my son, Daniel P. Rhodes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
