Book Alexander H  Stephens of Georgia

Download or read book Alexander H Stephens of Georgia written by Thomas E. Schott and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1996-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE JEFFERSON DAVIS AWARD Rising from humble origins in the middle Georgia cotton belt, Alexander H. Stephens (1812–1883) became one of the South’s leading politicians and lawyers. Thomas E. Schott has written the first scholarly biography that analyzes the interplay between the public and private Stephens and between state and national politics during his contradictory career. Stephens was a celebrated Whig, turned Democrat, who served as congressman from 1843 to 1859 and an antisecessionist who became vice-president of the Confederacy. Ignored by the Davis administration once in office, he eventually opposed most of its wartime policies. Schott argues that Stephens’ devotion to the southern cause was as genuine as his devotion to civil liberties and states’ rights. After the war, he became an elder statesman for Georgia, serving nine more years as a congress-man and the last five months of his life as governor.

Book Alexander H  Stephens  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Alexander H Stephens Classic Reprint written by Louis Pendleton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alexander H. Stephens A life of Alexander H. Stephens suited to the needs of the modern reader is desirable not only because of the peculiar personality of one of the ablest Of the Southern statesmen of the Old regime, and because Of his association with great events as vice-president of the Southern Confederacy, but because he was one of the most consistent figures in the long struggle between the champions Of State sovereignty and the supporters of Federal supremacy. Though a fellow Georgian, I have found Stephens chiefly interesting as a battling representative of State sovereignty in its conflict with nationalism, and as one of the ablest of those who de fied destiny in the age-long, evolutionary process - to which the terms right and wrong are too indi vidual and personal to apply - finally producing a na tion out of a mere confederation. The extent of the author's study of this general subj ect may be seen from the bibliography at the end Of the volume, practically all available sources having been drawn on in order to illustrate the early weakness Of the Federal govern ment, the division of sovereignty under our dual sys tem, the conflict between the partisans Of State and nation, and the nullification and disunion sentiment so Often and so violently manifested in all sections of the country during the first seventy years after the adoption of the Constitution.

  • Release : 2011-06-10
  • ISBN : 0807139394
  • Pages : 289 pages

Download or read book Albert Taylor Bledsoe written by Terry A. Barnhart and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2011-06-10 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert Taylor Bledsoe (1809 -1877), a principle architect of the South's "Lost Cause" mythology, remains one of the Civil War generation's leading and most controversial intellectuals. In "Albert Taylor Bledsoe: Defender of the Old South and Architect of the Lost Cause" Terry A. Barnhart sheds new light on this provocative figure, his diverse interests, and his divisive ideas. This biography, e first ever published of its subject, skillfully weaves Bledsoe's multifarious and extraordinary life history into a narrative that illustrates the events that shaped his opinions and influenced his writings. Barnhart's account demonstrates how Bledsoe still speaks directly, and sometimes eloquently, to the core issues that divided the nation in the 1860s and continue to haunt it today.

  • Pages : 348 pages

Download or read book Alexander H Stephens written by Louis Pendleton and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-05 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography appears in the series of American Crisis Biographies. The author has obtained much interesting material from files of Georgia and other Southern newspapers of the 1840's, '50's, and '60's, from old letters and scrapbooks of the war period, and from manuscripts in the possession of the archives of the government at Washington.Alexander H. Stephens was one of the most interesting personalities in the American Civil War. He was Vice-President of the short-lived Southern Confederacy. A remarkable man in many respects, his gift of eloquence gave him an almost unique position as a lawyer, and his constitutional views lend a certain piquancy to the record of his public life. He was not so much concerned in the retention or abolition of slavery when he assisted to fight the North as in the assertion of State rights. He was their most powerful advocate, and he supported the war in so far as it was intended to uphold the right to secede. When the result of the war showed that might and his theory of right were on opposite sides, he accepted the event, however unwelcome, as conclusive. It is not easy for us to-day to understand all that was involved in the triumph of the North and the placing of the whites of the South at the political mercy of their former slaves. We get an idea from this biography. "A great life full of tragedy both public and private, yet also full of triumph and of usefulness" is Mr. Pendleton's summing-up. "A scholar, a man of deep political learning, of profound knowledge of constitutional history, of moderate opinions and temperate spirit" the "Saturday Review" called him when noticing his "Constitutional Men of the Late War Between the States." This life is worth reading first as a study of the man, secondly, for the light it throws on the struggle between North and South. The author also delves into secession movements in the country preceeding the Southern movement, particular the opposition of New England to The War of 1812 and their desire to secede as a result. Very logical book, not of the sentimental, syrupy, variety at all. Well-sourced and annotated.

Book Cornerstone of the Confederacy

Download or read book Cornerstone of the Confederacy written by Keith S. Hébert and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book traces the curious history of the Cornerstone Speech. Alexander H. Stephens's defense of the new Confederacy, delivered on March 21, 1861, the Cornerstone Speech was an uninhibited overture to a new nation founded on white supremacy and slavery, and an instant sensation. While the speech is widely cited, no full-length treatment of the work and its legacy exists - and it is poorly understood. Hébert examines how Stephens initially considered it, then how, with the help of others, he reinterpreted it to shore up major tenets of Lost Cause ideology after the Confederacy was defeated on the battlefield. The book also shows how this reactionary interpretation would inform Neo-Confederate ideas that abide to the present day in American culture"--
