Book excerpt: The introduction begins, "The trial before the Military Commission in Cincinnati, just concluded, was in many respects one of the most remarkable events of the war. The investigation has elicited testimony of the most startling character, showing conclusively to the minds of all reasonable men who have given to it careful, earnest attention that there was a most formidable, deep and well arranged conspiracy, which, but for timely discovery and judicious action, would have resulted most disastrously, not only to the particular cities and towns specified and doomed to destruction, but to the whole country. None can contemplate the danger through which we have passed without a shudder and without a recognition of the hand of a merciful Providence who has guided our beloved country in its darkest hours and who has crowned our struggles for liberty and union with glorious victory." Topics covered include _The Plot to plunder and burn Chicago--Release of all Rebel prisoners--Seizure of arsenals--Raids from Canada--Plot to burn New York--Piracy on the Lakes--Parts for the Sons of Liberty--Trial of Chicago conspirators--Inside views of the Temples of the Sons of Libertyand Names of prominent members. The Great North-Western Conspiracy in All Its Startling Details has the first use of the phrase hell in a hand basket in the quote: "Thousands of our best men were prisoners in Camp Douglas, and if once at liberty would send abolitionists to hell in a hand basket.'

This book was released on 2023-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Great North-western Conspiracy" is a historical account of an attempt by a group of Confederate sympathizers to establish a pro-Southern state in the northwestern United States during the Civil War. The book, written by I. Winslow Ayer, provides a detailed overview of the conspiracy, from its origins to its eventual downfall. The conspirators, led by a former Ohio congressman named Clement Vallandigham, sought to create a new state called "the Northwest Confederacy" out of the territories of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. They hoped to establish a base of operations from which they could launch attacks on Union forces in the East and ultimately win the war for the Confederacy. However, the conspiracy was uncovered by Union authorities and the leaders were arrested and tried for treason. Vallandigham was banished to the South but eventually returned to Ohio and continued to agitate against the Union cause. Ayer's book offers a comprehensive account of the conspiracy, including its planning, recruitment efforts, and failed attempts to gain support from foreign powers. It also sheds light on the political climate of the era and the deep divisions that existed within the country during the Civil War.

Download or read book Dark Lanterns written by Frank L. Klement and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1989-08-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the agonizing days of the Civil War four secret political societies, often known as dark lantern societies, became household words throughout the North. Three of these groups--the Knights of the Golden Circle, the Order of American Knights, and the Sons of Liberty--supposedly were umbrellas for antiwar Democrats and were reportedly involved in treasonable activities. The Union League, on the other hand, was a patriotic political organization intent upon buttressing northern morale and giving support to the war program of the Lincoln administration. The accusations and counter accusations that passed between these opposing forces helped spread fantastic rumors about their power and influence. Treason trials held in Cincinnati and Indianapolis based convictions on hearsay, while the leaders of the Order of American Knights and the Knights of the Golden Circle spent much of the war in prison without benefit of trial. Today reputable reference sources still matter-of-factly credit these societies with large memberships and evil motives.In Dark Lanterns Frank L Klemment refutes past historical theories and shows quite clearly that these societies were never much more then paper-based organizations with vague goals and little ability to carry them out. Recounting the actual histories of these organizations, he shows how they were senationalized, even fictionalized, in both Republican and Democratic newspaper and magazine exposés. He also probes the trials arising from the supposed conspiracy to establish a separate confederacy in the Midwest and the so-called Camp Douglas conspiracy, which was intended to release the Confederate prisoners housed there. Despite the furor they generated, Klement concludes that these dark lantern societies were essentially engaged in nothing more than a war of words and that their alleged power was greatly exaggerated by political propaganda.Meticulously researched and lucidly argued, Dark Lanterns explores a controversial and puzzling aspect of the Civil war. It will be hard to dispute Klements' finding that generations of historians have swallowed whole a tale that was largely the product of myth and legend.
Download or read book The Clays of Alabama written by Ruth Ketring Nuermberger and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of unique interest to the student of nineteenth century America is this account of the Alabama Clays, who in their private life were typical of the slaveholding aristocracy of the old South, but as lawyer-politicians played significant roles in state and national politics, in the development of the Democratic party, and in the affairs of the Confederacy. In the period from 1811 to 1915, the Clays were involved in many of the great problems confronting the South. This study of the Clay family includes accounts of the wartime legislation of the Confederate Congress and the activities of the Confederate Commission in Canada. Equally interesting to many readers will be the intimate view of social life in ante-bellum Washington and the story of the domestic struggles of a plantation family during and after the war, as revealed through the letters of Clement Claiborne Clay and his wife Virginia.
