Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War, Peace and Reconstruction We of America have been spared the horrors that have come upon the people of Belgium, France, Russia, Servia, Rumania, Poland and even England and Germany; but while we face a different situation, and our problems may not be as acute. Still the readjustment that must take place in the United States after the end of the war will be fraught with very grave peril to the Nation and will call for the highest statesmanship. The President. His advisers and others, with the good of the country at heart. Have given and are giving very earnest thought to the future. Secretary of the Interior Lane is plan ning to ask legislation by which the arid lands of the West, the cut-over lands of the Northwest and the swamp lands of the Middle West and South can be reclaimed, and the returned sol dier, sailor and war industry worker be given a preferred status in the allotment upon easy terms, with the opportunity to assist in the construction of irrigation projects and so on, thus being paid for his labor while developing his farm. Much of this land is in private ownership, and non-productive at the present time, from a variety of causes. Legislation not only upon the part of the Federal Government will be required, but also by the states. Before the plan in view can be put into full execution. Cooperation will be necessary between Washington, the states and individual owners of land. And in addition, there are the more fertile acres held in great tracts by wealthy owners, and uncultivated. Will this be tolerated further in the face of a crisis? 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 Problems of Peace: A Study of the Essential Needs of Massachusetts During the Reconstruction Period Intricate and important as were the problems of war preparation and participation, it is likely that in the end they may seem simple compared to the difficulties which face us in its readjustment to normal peace conditions. The obstacles in the way of a military victory have been overcome because of the fact that there were no differences of opinion as to the main object to be attained. Individual and party theories as to economic and administrative policies have been subordinated for the successful accomplishment of the end in view. The world will never again, return to where it was four years ago. What is called conservative Opinion must modify its aims to include the best part of what is called radical policy. On the other hand, radicalism, as shown by its inevitable results when put in actual practice, as to-day in Russia, where the radicals have taken the property of the nation without law, is an even greater menace than the militarism now justly defeated in this great war. It is a time for tolerance, of getting together, and in the compromise of opinion to work out a reasonable and saving program. The United States, which gave real' democracy to the world, has during the last fourteen decades, shown that under it, real progress never before witnessed in the history of the world was possible. During the war the American people generally refused to give serious consideration to reconstruction problems because of the fear that this might divert them from the immediate prosecution and winning of the war, and as a result we are as unprepared for peace as we were for war. The purpose of this pamphlet is to direct attention not solely to the larger questions of reconstruction now being considered the world over, but especially to the not less important because purely local problems which are necessary to understand and to remedy that Massachusetts may hold its own in after the war competition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace Organisation After the War: A Review of Some Schemes of Reconstruction The League beyond doubt has powerful support in America. Mr. Taft, a former President, is its chairman; Mr. Wilson, as We have seen, as well as Mr. Hughes, the Republican candidate for the Presidency, Mr. Roosevelt, and' other prominent men have strongly declared in its favour. On this side of the Atlantic the League has already been received with great approval by some of our most distinguished statesmen M. Briand has given it his blessing. In our own country Viscount Grey, Iord Bryce, and others have spoken or written in its favour, and its principle is embodied in Mr. Asquith's declaration that Britain is fighting for the public law of Europe. Viscount Grey, in his memorable, inspiring speech to the Foreign Press Association, aft-er heartily com mending the League, appealed strongly to neutral nations, who are less absorbed in the maelstrom of. The war than are the belligerents, to prepare the Way for some international association, after this war is over, which shall do its part in making peace secure in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Meaning of Reconstruction A policy based upon Liberty means a demo cratic policy, for freedom and democracy are twin pr1n01ples. As a result of the War these principles have been emphasized and reiterated after the War they will still need to stand out prominently above the rush of events. The plain question to be decided will be whether those who fought for freedom, toiled for freedom, or in other ways supported the War for freedom, are prepared in peace to apply the principle universally, alike in the sphere of international relations and in the sphere of political, social, and economic relations at home. To do so would involve a revolution in our standards of value; but unless Reconstruction aims at such a revolution, it is useless, or worse than useless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Britain After the Peace: Revolution or Reconstruction To me it seems clear that very little progress can be made in preparing for after-the - war problems, unless we realize that when the Kaiser declared 'war on France and Russia he began not merely a war, but a revolution. On that day society, as we have known it, committed suicide. Even if the blind Samson of German militarism had succeeded in pulling down the temple on the heads of its enemies, it must, nevertheless, have perished in the ruins itself.

Download or read book Let Us Have Peace written by Brooks D. Simpson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have traditionally drawn distinctions between Ulysses S. Grant's military and political careers. In Let Us Have Peace, Brooks Simpson questions such distinctions and offers a new understanding of this often enigmatic leader. He argues that during the 1860s Grant was both soldier and politician, for military and civil policy were inevitably intertwined during the Civil War and Reconstruction era. According to Simpson, Grant instinctively understood that war was 'politics by other means.' Moreover, he realized that civil wars presented special challenges: reconciliation, not conquest, was the Union's ultimate goal. And in peace, Grant sought to secure what had been won in war, stepping in to assume a more active role in policymaking when the intransigence of white Southerners and the obstructionist behavior of President Andrew Johnson threatened to spoil the fruits of Northern victory.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Civil War and Reconstruction in Alabama: Look inside the book: The successes claimed may be summarized as follows: (1) there was no more legislation for the negro similar to that of 1865-66, that following the Reconstruction being “infinitely milder”; (2) Reconstruction gave the negroes a civil status that a century of “restoration” would not have accomplished, for though the right to vote is a nullity, other undisputed rights of the black are due to the Reconstruction; the unchangeable organic laws of the state and of the United States favor negro suffrage, which will come the sooner for being thus theoretically made possible; (3) Reconstruction prevented the southern leaders from returning to Washington as irreconcilables, and gave them troubles enough to keep them busy until a new generation grew up which accepted the results of war; (4) by organizing the blacks it made them independent of white control in politics; (5) it gave the negro an independent church; (6) it gave the negro a right to education and gave to both races the public school system; (7) it made the negro economically free and showed that free labor was better than slave labor; (8) it destroyed the formerPg 802 leaders of the whites and “freed them from the baleful influence of old political leaders”; in general, as Sumner said, the ballot to the negro was “a peacemaker, a schoolmaster, a protector,” soon making him a fairly good citizen, and secured peace and order—the “political hell” through which the whites passed being a necessary discipline which secured the greatest good to the greatest number. ...On the other hand, it may be maintained (1) that the intent of the legislation of 1865-1866 has been entirely misunderstood, that it was intended on the whole for the benefit of the negro as well as of the white, and that it has been left permanently off the statute book, not because the whites have been taught better by Reconstruction, but because of the amendments which prohibit in theory what has all along been practised (hence the gross abuses of peonage); (2) that the theoretical rights of the negro have been no inducement to grant him actual privileges, and that these theoretical rights have not proven so permanent as was supposed before the disfranchising movement spread through the South; (3) that the generation after Reconstruction is more irreconcilable than the conservative leaders who were put out of politics in 1865-1867—that the latter were willing to give the negro a chance, while the former, able, radical, and supported by the people, find less and less place for the negro; (4) that if the blacks were united, so were the whites, and in each case the advantage may be questioned; (5) that the value of the negro church is doubtful; (6) that as in politics, so in education, the negro has no opportunities now that were not freely offered him in 1865-1866, and the school system is not a product of Reconstruction, but came near being destroyed by it; (7) that negro free labor is not as efficient as slave labor was, and the negro as a cotton producer has lost his supremacy and his economic position is not at all assured; (8) that the whites have acquired new leaders, but the change has been on the whole from conservatives to radicals, from fri
