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.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. S. A. Douglas, of Illinois, Against the Admission of Kansas Under the Lecompton Constitution Mr. President: I know not that my strength is sufficient to eu able me to present to-night the views which I should like to submit upon the question now under consideration. My sickness for the last two weeks has deprived me of the pleasure of listening to the debates, and of an opportunity of reading the speeches that have been made hence I shall not be able to perform the duty which might naturally have been expected of me, of replying to any criticisms that may have been presented upon my course, or upon my speeches, or upon my re port. I must content myself with presenting my views upon the questions that are naturally brought up by the bill under considera tion. I trust, however, that I may be pardoned for referring briefly, in the first instance, to my course upon the slavery question during the period that I have had a seat in the two Houses of Congress. When I entered Congress, in 1843, I found upon the statute-book the evidence of a policy to adjust the slavery question and avoid sec tional agitation by a geographical line drawn across the continent, separating free territory from slave territory. That policy had its origin at the beginning of this government, and had prevailed up to that time. In 1787, while the convention was in session, forming the Constitution of the United States, the Congress of the Confederation adopted the ordinance of 1787, prohibiting slavery in all the territory northwest of the Ohio river. The first Congress that assembled under the Constitution extended all the provisions of that ordinance, with the exception of the clause prohibiting slavery, to the territory south of that river, thus making the Ohio river the dividing line between free territory and slave territory, free labor and slave labor.

Download or read book Josie Underwood s Civil War Diary written by Josie Underwood and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2009-03-20 with total page 288 pages. 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.
