This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. W. L. Underwood, of Kentucky, Against the Admission of Kansas as a State Under the Lecompton Constitution: Delivered in the House of Representatives, March 30, 1858 Mr. Chairman: I use to essay no effort at elocution, nor any ex tended observations upon the vexed question of Kansas. Contem plating that question from a point of view differing from that of most if not all others that have addressed you, entertaining in regard to it opinions that have not yet found expression, duty to myself demands that I should announce the reasons that shall control my action. To those who know me at home I shall have no occasion to defend myself against any charge of intentional infidelity to the South and her cherished institutions. From the dawn of my humble political career, until now, they have had no more devoted friend than I. Born in a slave State, having lived in one all my life, a large owner of slaves, and representing one of the largest slave districts in the Union, it would be nothing short of impossibility for me to become faithless to its real interests. Ihave heretofore expressed my opinions on this floor with sufficient fullness upon the subject of the relations of mas ter and slave. I will not repeat them. It is sufficient for me to say that I honestly regard them as the best possible relations which can exist between two dissimilar and unequal races of men thrown together upon the same territory, and that every attempt to create other relations than these, whilst the two races thus coexist, has thus far only deepened the degradation and misery of the black race. I should, therefore, instead of circumscribing slavery, be perfectly wil ling to see it extended, with the consent of those immediately inter ested, to the remotest confines of the republic. It is not, then, be cause in any possible form, I am opposed to slavery, that I am opposed to the Lecompton constitution for Kansas. Indeed, rather, it is-because I am the friend and advocate of the peculiar institutions of the South that I am in part constrained to object to that constitution.

Download or read book Evil Necessity written by Harold D. Tallant and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Kentucky, the slavery debate raged for thirty years before the Civil War began. While whites in the lower South argued that slavery was good for master and slave, many white Kentuckians maintained that because of racial prejudice, public safety, and property rights, slavery was necessary but undeniably evil. Harold D. Tallant shows how this view bespoke a real ambivalence about the desirability of continuing slavery in Kentucky and permitted an active abolitionist movement in the state to exist alongside contented slaveholders. Though many Kentuckians were increasingly willing to defend slavery against northern opposition, they did not always see this defense as their first political priority. Tallant explores the way in which the disparity between Kentuckians' ideals and their actions helped make Kentucky a quintessential border state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A well-educated, outspoken member of a politically prominent family in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Josie Underwood (1840--1923) left behind one of the few intimate accounts of the Civil War written by a southern woman sympathetic to the Union. This vivid portrayal of the early years of the war begins several months before the first shots were fired on Fort Sumter in April 1861. "The Philistines are upon us," twenty-year-old Josie writes in her diary, leaving no question about the alarm she feels when Confederate soldiers occupy her once-peaceful town. Offering a unique perspective on the tensions between the Union and the Confederacy, Josie reveals that Kentucky was a hotbed of political and military action, particularly in her hometown of Bowling Green, known as the Gibraltar of the Confederacy. Located along important rail and water routes that were vital for shipping supplies in and out of the Confederacy, the city linked the upper South's trade and population centers and was strategically critical to both armies. Capturing the fright and frustration she and her family experienced when Bowling Green served as the Confederate army's headquarters in the fall of 1861, Josie tells of soldiers who trampled fields, pilfered crops, burned fences, cut down trees, stole food, and invaded homes and businesses. In early 1862, Josie's outspoken Unionist father, Warner Underwood, was ordered to evacuate the family's Mount Air estate, which was later destroyed by occupying forces. Wartime hardships also strained relationships among Josie's family, neighbors, and friends, whose passionate beliefs about Lincoln, slavery, and Kentucky's secession divided them. Published for the first time, Josie Underwood's Civil War Diary interweaves firsthand descriptions of the political unrest of the day with detailed accounts of an active social life filled with travel, parties, and suitors. Bringing to life a Unionist, slave-owning young woman who opposed both Lincoln's policies and Kentucky's secession, the diary dramatically chronicles the physical and emotional traumas visited on Josie's family, community, and state during wartime.
