Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Gov; Oliver P. Morton: At the Union State Convention Held at Indianapolis, Ind;, February 23, 1864 It seemed an appropriate occasion to pass in review the political affairs of the State during the past two years, and as he desired not to be misapprehended or misunderstood he had taken such time as he could gain from official duties and frequent illness to put in writing what he was about to say. He then read as follows: Copperhead Action in the Legislature. The beginning of the late session was signalized in the House by an act as absurd and insulting as it was revolutionary. The Constitution imposes the obligation upon the Governor of communicating with the Legislature by messages from time to time, and it imposes a like obligation upon the Legislature of receiving and and considering such messages. In discharge of this obligation, the Governor sent his semi-annual message to the Senate and House. The Senate received the message and ordered it to be printed, but the House refused to receive it, returned it to the Governor, and passed a resolution receiving and adopting the message of the Governor of New York. [Laughter.] From such a beginning it was not hard to predict the end. The House had begun its Legislative course by a wanton insult to the Executive, by a flagrant violation of the Constitution, which it had, but a few hours before, sworn to support. The revolutionary policy thus inaugurated was pursued with increased violence and open disregard of Constitutional obligations. Its time was chiefly consumed by the introduction of disloyal resolutions, the utterance of factious and treasonable sentiments, intended to excite the people against the Government, and destroy its power to suppress the rebellion. The necessary and legitimate subjects of legislation were disregarded or kept back. Aside from an appropriation for their own per diem and mileage, which was passed on the first day of the session, every other appropriation was absolutely suppressed until Friday, the last day but one of the session, when it was known that no quorum was present in the House. - Among the appropriations which should have been made at the beginning of the session were: First - A sufficient sum for the relief of soldiers' families. Second - A sum sufficient to relieve the necessities and provide for the sick and wounded soldiers in the field. Third - A sum sufficient to pay the military claims which had been allowed by the Auditing Committee, and about which there was no dispute, some of them having been standing for many months. Fourth - A sum sufficient to pay special surgeons for services and expenses, rendered by order of the Governor, in the field. Fifth - A sum sufficient to sustain and continue the operations of the State Arsenal; it having been shown that that institution had been profitable to the State, and of great service to the State and Government. Sixth - A sum sufficient to pay the officers and men of the Indiana Legion, for their services rendered in protecting the border.

Book A Contest of Civilizations

Download or read book A Contest of Civilizations written by Andrew F. Lang and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most mid-nineteenth-century Americans regarded the United States as an exceptional democratic republic that stood apart from a world seemingly riddled with revolutionary turmoil and aristocratic consolidation. Viewing themselves as distinct from and even superior to other societies, Americans considered their nation an unprecedented experiment in political moderation and constitutional democracy. But as abolitionism in England, economic unrest in Europe, and upheaval in the Caribbean and Latin America began to influence domestic affairs, the foundational ideas of national identity also faced new questions. And with the outbreak of civil war, as two rival governments each claimed the mantle of civilized democracy, the United States' claim to unique standing in the community of nations dissolved into crisis. Could the Union chart a distinct course in human affairs when slaveholders, abolitionists, free people of color, and enslaved African Americans all possessed irreconcilable definitions of nationhood? In this sweeping history of political ideas, Andrew F. Lang reappraises the Civil War era as a crisis of American exceptionalism. Through this lens, Lang shows how the intellectual, political, and social ramifications of the war and its meaning rippled through the decades that followed, not only for the nation's own people but also in the ways the nation sought to redefine its place on the world stage.
