I protest against a surrender of the navigation of the Mississippi River, and would not, if elected to the office of Governor, agree to relinquish the right Tennessee has to the free navigation of that great "inland sea," if even the General Government should basely surrender its rights and the rights of the several Western and Northwestern States. Nor am I willing to recognize the act of Secession on the part of Florida, Louisiana, and Texas in any other light than that of dishonesty and treason, meriting the scorn and contempt of the civilized world. I say this because of the vast amount of money paid by our Government, to say nothing of the sacrifice of human life, for the exclusive benefit of these three States. Louisiana, (purchased of France, ) $15,000,000; interest paid, $8,385,353; Florida, (purchased of Spain, ) $5,000,000; interest paid, $1,430,000; Texas, (boundary, ) $10,000,000; Texas, (for indemnity, ) $10,000,000; Texas, (for creditors, last Congress, ) $7,750,000; Indian expenses of all kinds, $5,000,000; to purchase navy, pay troops, $5,000,000; all other expenditures, $3,000,000; Mexican War, $217,175,575; soldiers' pensions and bountylands, $100,000,000; Florida War, $100,000,000; soldiers' pensions, $7,000,000; to remove Indians, $5,000,000; paid by treaty for New Mexico, $15,000,000; paid to extinguish Indian titles, $100,000,000; raid to Georgia, $3,082,000; total cost, $617,822,928. Ought these three rebellious States to be tolerated in their mad schemes of plunder and treason, after costing the people of the other States six hundred and eighteen millions of dollars? I say, No; and, as the Executive of this State, I could never do an act that would in the remotest degree tolerate this wholesale ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the start of the Civil War, Knoxville, Tennessee, with a population of just over 4,000, was considered a prosperous metropolis little reliant on slavery. Although the surrounding countryside was predominantly Unionist in sympathy, Knoxville itself was split down the middle, with Union and Confederate supporters even holding simultaneous political rallies at opposite ends of the town's main street. Following Tennessee's secession, Knoxville soon became famous (or infamous) as a stronghold of stalwart Unionism, thanks to the efforts of a small cadre who persisted in openly denouncing the Confederacy. Throughout the course of the Civil War, Knoxville endured military occupation for all but three days, hosting Confederate troops during the first half of the conflict and Union forces throughout the remainder, with the transition punctuated by an extended siege and bloody battle during which nearly forty thousand soldiers fought over the town. In Lincolnites and Rebels, Robert Tracy McKenzie tells the story of Civil War Knoxville-a perpetually occupied, bitterly divided Southern town where neighbor fought against neighbor. Mining a treasure-trove of manuscript collections and civil and military records, McKenzie reveals the complex ways in which allegiance altered the daily routine of a town gripped in a civil war within the Civil War and explores the agonizing personal decisions that war made inescapable. Following the course of events leading up to the war, occupation by Confederate and then Union soldiers, and the troubled peace that followed the war, Lincolnites and Rebels details in microcosm the conflict and paints a complex portrait of a border state, neither wholly North nor South.

No less timely today, this reprint has added value with an index of more than 1600 names. Those interested in the genealogical value of this volume will find Burnett has done an excellent job detailing ancestry, dates and places.

There is much data of general historical interest and numerous “firsts.” Of interest to all denominations, it is the perfect gift for a church library as well as a personal gift.
