Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literature of the Rebellion In preparing this Bibliography of the Rebellion, the compiler has been at a loss where to begin his labors, inasmuch as events of great importance, which occurred long before the outbreak, had a direct bearing upon it, and require notice. The Raid at Harper's Ferry by John Brown; the contest for Freedom in Kansas; the working of the Fugitive Slave Law; the Missouri Compromise, and the long struggle between the Slave and Free States from the very adoption of the Federal Constitution, which finally culminated in the rebellion, - all seem to be a preparation for this event. With this view of the subject, the compiler has deemed it best that his catalogue should cover the whole ground of these several events, and should, consequently, include works relating to American Slavery. The historians of the rebellion, generally, have taken the same view, and have covered the field, beginning with the adoption of the Constitution in their preliminary remarks. But, although it was determined to embrace works on this subject in the catalogue, it is, in this respect, far from complete, as the compiler did not commence till recently to collect works on American Slavery. But, notwithstanding the deficiencies in this department, he believes that his catalogue contains more titles on the subject than can be found elsewhere. The catalogue will be found to include titles of the following: 1. Books and Pamphlets relating to the Rebellion, and to topics connected therewith, published in the United States and Europe. 2. Congressional Reports; Reports and Documents from the Departments of the War and the Navy; Proceedings of Courts Martial; Communications from the Executive of the United States; Speeches in Congress, and all other publications of the general government, 1861-63, relating to the war. 3. Official publications of the several States covering the period of the war, - 1861 to 1865, - embracing Messages of Governors; Reports of Adjutant and Quartermaster Generals; Rosters of Volunteers; Documents and Reports relative to Volunteers, Bounties, the Draft, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Outbreak of Rebellion Upon urgent and repeated request from the publishers, the author consented to lay aside temporarily a larger and more important literary task, to write for them this initial volume of the Campaigns of the Civil War. Personal observation and long previous investigation had furnished him a great variety of new material for the work; and this was opportunely supplemented by the recent publication of the Oficial War Records for 1861, both Union and Confed erate, opening to comparison and use an immense mass of historical data, and furnishing the definite means of verify ing or correcting the statements of previous writers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fitchburg in the War of the Rebellion Many Histories of the Great Rebellion have been written; many others will be, and perhaps the best and truest record of the perilous times through which we, as a Nation, have just passed, will be written many years hence. These will be general in their character, and will not descend to the details of the part which states, cities, towns and communities had in the great contest. Our present purpose is to put upon record in a concise form our share as a Town in the great work of vindicating the Constitution, the establishing of universal freedom, and preserving unsullied the glorious flag of the Republic. Justice, alike to the living and the dead of the actors in the great drama, demands that their deeds shall be embalmed in the memories of posterity through all coming time. Gratitude to the living and precious memories of the dead prompt us to the wel come task before us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections of the War of the Rebellion This fourth volume of papers and sermons comprises papers presented at the banquets which follow the regular stated meetings of the Commandery, and sermons preached before the Commandery, as a part of the annual Church service which, during the past few years, has been held in commemoration of the surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865, an event that brought peace within our borders and that cemented once more the union of States comprising our great Republic. One object of the foundation of this Order, set forth in our Constitution, is - "to cherish the memories and associations of the war waged in defence of the unity and indivisibility of the Republic..." There is no way in which this result can be more effectually accomplished than by bringing together the personal recollections of those who took part in that great struggle. These narratives of personal experiences are interesting, not only because they bring us in contact with events of which the narrators themselves were a part, but also because, as a relation of facts and incidents based upon the personal observations and experiences of participants, they bring us much closer to the actual events of the War of the Rebellion than the more formal statements of the professional historian. Many of the incidents referred to, which are more or less of a personal character, would never have become matter of record but for these papers, nevertheless they give life to the accounts that are presented in the official reports.

Download or read book The Rebellion Vol 1 of 8 Classic Reprint written by Jonathan W. Buhoup and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rebellion, Vol. 1 of 8 The earth has been cursed with civil wars from the earliest times in which we have records of the race. Though characterized by more or less ferocity, and assuming various shapes, they all may be divided into two general classes. Those that occur under a despotic form of government, spring from oppression which the l)eople, no longer able to bear, venture all the terrible hazard of a resolution to throw off. Those that take place under a democratic form of government, are brought about by a few ambitious men, who seek by faction to obtain power. Those of the former class possess dignity and grandeur, from the fact that they are based on the great doctrine of human rights. Man asserting his inherent, God-given rights on the battle field against overwhelming odds, is a sublime spectacle. The latter are based on falsehoods, and kept ahve by deception. Such were the civil wars of the early republics. In the time of Cromwell, both religious and civil liberty were the grand prizes of the struggle; and whether we look at Hampden, calmly suffering for the sake of liberty, or at Cromwells Ironsides, sweeping like a thunder cloud to battle, with the fearful war cry, Religion, on their lips, our deepest sympathies and admiration are excited, and we forget the horrors of the carnage in the mighty stake at issue. So in the bloody revolution of France; though the views of the masses were vague, and their speech often incoherent, yet when we behold inscribed on their banner the great charter of human rights, and the head of a king thrown down as the gage of battle, we no longer see the crimson field with its garments rolled in blood, we see only the divine image of human liberty hovering over it. Ours is of a mixed character, and hence in some respects unlike all others that have preceded it; but like all civil wars in republics, it sprung from a faction who sought only political power. Those make a great mistake who suppose it grew out of a desire merely to perpetuate slavery. Slavery was used as a means to an end a bugbear to frighten the timid into obedience, and a rallying cry for the ignorant, deluded masses. The accursed lust of power lay at the bottom of it. The entire North, including the Republican party, had repeatedlydeclared, in the most emphatic manner, that it had no intention to interfere with slavery in the States where it existed; for they had no right to do so under the Constitution. Its po-petuili there was conceded, until the States themselves should get ridoi it. Hence, the Southern conspirators had no fear on that point, but they knew they could not carry the people with them unless ffiey convinced them that slavery was to be assailed in their very homes, to be followed by a servile insurrection.

I soon found all the letters received of 1864, and selected such of them as identified the Government with the bark A1.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Union: A Story of the Great Rebellion This volume ends the series of Columbian Historical Novels, designed to give a complete history of the United States, in twelve complete stories, chronologically arranged. Throughout the series I have adhered to the original plan of making fiction subordinate to history, even at the expense of unity. I have been censured by some critics for deserting my fictitious characters in order to bring up the historical events by which they were surrounded, but as my design was to make the series beneficial as well as interesting, I have turned a deaf ear to all suggestions to sacrifice usefulness to smoothness. It is doubtful if the time has yet arrived to write a fair and impartial history of the war of the Rebellion, even as a historical romance. We are so prone to let prejudice warp judgment that we can hardly deal fairly with an opponent, even though that opponent be a brother.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Rebellion: In 1745 and 1746 The character of the Rebellion which broke out in this country in the year 1745, cannot be rightly understood, without a knowledge of our domestic history, and the state of the different parts of the island, from the commencement of the disturbances in the reign of Charles I., down to the period of that insurrection. To the Reformation (itself, no doubt the fruit of growing knowledge and civilisation) we owe the diffusion of the principles of civil, as well as religious liberty. Before that period, even in countries possessed of certain political privileges, tyrannical principles were generally prevalent. It was impossible, however, for men to emancipate themselves from ecclesiastical tyranny, without, in some degree, embracing principles favourable to general freedom; for the arguments, on which they claimed religious liberty, admitted of an easy, and almost unavoidable application to civil rights. This connection was soon perceived by many of the depositaries of power, who resisted innovation in matters of religion, as likely to lead to innovations in other matters. They saw the importance of preserving every link in the chain of tyranny unbroken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rebellion Its Causes and Consequences Mr. President and Gentlemen: In response to an invitation from a number of my fellow-citizens, I appear before you to-night to present as briefly as I can my views of the rebellion, its causes and consequences. And here let me say that the remarks which I propose to make will be in the main but a recitation of historical facts. Facts are stubborn things, and I prefer to use them in examining the question upon which I am to speak to-night, rather than resort to declamation. I do it as a duty, and to demonstrate to you beyond all dispute that the cause for which we are lighting is the cause of Justice, and Union, and Constitutional Liberty. If I could not do this I would ask no man to join the army, for I could not ask a man to enter the army to fight for injustice and oppression. I need hardly say to you that we are in the midst of a rebellion unlike any which in our history has preceded it, or indeed in the history of the world. There have been many rebellions and revolutions since the establishment of civilized governments, but this is the first attempted revolution having for its avowed object the extension and perpetuity of human slavery. All rebellions which have preceded this have been professedly to secure the rights and liberties of the people. - Therefore of all rebellions this is the most causeless and criminal which the history of the world records. The seeds of this rebellion were first sown so long ago as the year 1620, when a Dutch ship entered the mouth of James River in the then infant colony of Virginia, and committed the infamous crime of selling twenty black men as slaves. - The British Government fostered and protected the seed then sown, guarded and protected it by law and added yearly to it more than a hundred fold by fresh importations up to the date of the establishment of our independence. - The leading men of the revolution saw and, like true men, acknowledged the inhumanity, the injustice and the crime of slavery. Jefferson said, when speaking of this question, that he trembled for his country when he remembered that God was just, and in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence he charged as one of the grievances of which we justly complaied at the hands of the mother country that of forcing slavery upon us. These are his priceless words: "He has waged a cruel war against human nature itself, violating the most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people, who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur a miserable death in transportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the Christian King of Great Britain, determined to keep open a market where men shall be bought and sold. He has prostituted his negative by suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain the execrable commerce, and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished dye, he is now exciting these very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people on whom he also obtruded them; thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another." That this truthful count in the indictment against Great Britain was stricken out of the Declaration I regret, as all liberty-loving men have regretted, but that it was stricken out, and at such a time and under the circumstances tells you better than I can tell you of the danger which imperils the life of a nation that fosters and protects a privileged class.
