Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil War Preliminaries: Dred Scott Case; Excerpts From Newspapers and Other Sources In 1841 Lincoln had seen a group of slaves on a steamboat being sold South from Kentucky to a harsher (so he assumed) slavery. Immediately after the trip, he noted the irony of their seeming contentment with their lot. They had appeared to be the happiest people on board. After the kansas-nebraska Act, he wrote about the same episode, still vivid to him, as a continual torment to me. Slavery, he said, has, and continually exercises, the power of making me miserable. Lincoln repeatedly stated that slaveholders were no worse than Northerners would be in the same situation. Having inherited an undesirable but socially explosive political institution, Southerners made the best of a bad situation. Like all Americans before the Revolution, they had denounced Great Britain's forcing slavery on the colonies with the slave trade, and, even in the l850s, they admitted the humanity of the Negro by despising those Southerners who dealt with the Negro as property, pure and simple slave traders. But he feared that the ability of Northerners to see that slavery was morally wrong was in decline. This, almost as surely as disunion, could mean the end of the American experiment in freedom, for any argument for slavery which ignored the moral wrong of the institution could be used to enslave any man, white or black. If lighter men were to enslave darker men, then you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with a fairer skin than your own. If superior intellect determined masters, then you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with an intellect superior to your own. Once the moral distinction between slavery and freedom were forgotten, nothing could stop its spread. It was founded in the selfishness of man's nature, and that selfishness could overcome any barriers of climate or geography. By 1856 Lincoln was convinced that the sentiment in favor of white slavery prevailed in all the slave state papers, except those of Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri and Maryland. The people of the South had an immediate palpable and immensely great pecuniary interest in the question; while, with the people of the North, it is merely an abstract question of moral right. Unfortunately, the latter formed a looser bond than economic self-interest in two billion dollars worth of slaves. And the Northern ability to resist was steadily undermined by the moral indifference to slavery epitomized by Douglas's willingness to see slavery voted up or down in the territories. The Dred Scott decision in 1857 convinced Lincoln that the kansas-nebraska Act had been the beginning of a conspiracy to make slavery perpetual, national, and universal. His house-divided Speech of 1858 and his famous debates with Douglas stressed the specter of a conspiracy to nationalize slavery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Papers on the Causes of the Civil War Washington wrote to David Stuart in June 1790: The introduction of the Quaker memorial respecting slavery was, to be sure, not only ill-timed, but occasioned a great waste of time. Tu 1793 the Fugitive Slave law was passed, whereby a runaway slave captured in a free State, must be returned to his owner. As the new States were admitted into the Union they came in for the most part alternately free and slave States. This was done to preserve the balance of power in Congress.

This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive examination of British sympathy for the South during and after the American Civil War, Michael J. Turner explores the ideas and activities of A. J. Beresford Hope—one of the leaders of the pro-Confederate lobby in Britain—to provide fresh insight into that seemingly curious allegiance. Hope and his associates cast famed Confederate general Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson as the embodiment of southern independence, courage, and honor, elevating him to the status of a hero in Britain. Historians have often noted that economic interest, political attitudes, and concern about Britain’s global reach and geostrategic position led many in the country to embrace the Confederate cause, but they have focused less on the social, cultural, and religious reasons enunciated by Hope and ostensibly represented by Jackson, factors Turner suggests also heightened British affinity for the South. During the war, Hope noticed a tendency among British people to view southerners as heroic warriors in their struggle against the North. He and his pro-southern followers shared and promoted this vision, framing Jackson as the personification of that noble mission and raising the general’s profile in Britain so high that they collected enough funds to construct a memorial to him after his death in 1863. Unveiled twelve years later in Richmond, Virginia, the statue stands today as a remarkable artifact of one of the lesser-known strands of British pro-Confederate ideology. Stonewall Jackson, Beresford Hope, and the Meaning of the American Civil War in Britain serves as the first in-depth analysis of Hope as a leading pro-southern activist and of Jackson’s reputation in Britain during and after the Civil War. It places the conflict in a transnational context that reveals the reasons British citizens formed bonds of solidarity with the southerners whom they perceived shared their social and cultural values.

Download or read book Civil War and Miscellaneous Papers written by Military Historical Society of Massachusetts and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil War and Miscellaneous Papers, Vol. 14 The battle of South Mountain was fought September 14, and the enemy retreated across the Antietam Creek, without making any attempt to stop or delay pursuit, except that McLaws' division remained to occupy and cover Maryland Heights. McClellan reached the ground on the east of the Antietam on the 15th about noon, and the whole army (except Franklin's command) was there in the course of the night; the distance from South Mountain was some six or seven miles. The troops certainly could have been all on the ground before midnight. McLaws remained in Pleasant Valley till the afternoon of September 16, so that Franklin could not have quitted his position there. The rest of the army was or could have been in position to attack on the morning of the 16th. At that time it was certain that a large body of the enemy was detached from the main army at or near Harper's Ferry, and could not reach it during the 16th. This more than made up for the absence of Franklin. There seems no sufficient reason why an attack was not made on September 16. There was plenty of time to reconnoitre the ground. The other reasons given by General McClellan were that the troops were not well supplied with rations, and had expended some ammunition, but these reasons he does not seem to allege with any great strength.
