Breckinridge, D. D., LL. D., In the Danville Quarterly Review Nothing remains for the author to discuss, under his fifth head, but the duty of the Government at Washington in relation to secession. Having assumed that this is a con solidated nation, secession comes to be denounced as sedi tion, anarchy and rebellion, which must be crushed by the central authority. By the express terms, as well by the very nature of the Federal Constitution, a secession ordi nance in the South is as totally void as a personal liberty law in the North can possibly be. There was no more le gal necessity, nor any more logical consistency, in diatribes about lack of power to coerce a State, in one case than in the other. The doctrine that the people of a State are citizens of the United States only through its own Constitution and Government, is pronounced a political falsehood, and the power is declared complete to execute the laws of the United States upon every citizen of the United States, where ever found. He declares it sheer folly to weaken the posture of the General Government towards the secession movement and is accordingly very severe upon those at the N orth who have united in protests against coercion, as all this but tends to avert the coming reaction which may save the country. His deliberate counsel, therefore, is, in this great emergency, that the General Government shall steadily but temperately enforce the laws, postal, revenue, and every other, in all the seceding States, in utter disre gard of all the ordinances these latter may have enacted, avoiding armed collision, except in repelling force by force. By this policy, to which he denies the term coercion, the voice that has not yet been heard, and the hand that has not yet been lifted - even the voice and the hand of this great nation - will be raised to restore the old Union to its former integrity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South Vindicated The following letters upon slavery in the Southern States of the late American Union, were written at Constantinople during the canvass for the Presidency of the United States in 1860, and forwarded at the time for publication in a political journal. In deference to the desire of a number of intelligent gentlemen, they are now issued in their present form, as a single atom in the history of that great struggle which terminated in the election of a President by the united votes of the Northern States, to be speedily followed by the dismemberment of the Confederacy. It will be necessary that the reader should bear constantly in mind that the letters were written before, not after the occurrence of these events. Although the anticipations of the author have been strikingly verified, both in Europe and in America, he does not pretend to have furnished new facts, or to have thrown new light upon the interesting and important subjects upon which he has written.

Download or read book Apostles of Disunion written by Charles B. Dew and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Dew's Apostles of Disunion has established itself as a modern classic and an indispensable account of the Southern states' secession from the Union. Addressing topics still hotly debated among historians and the public at large more than a century and a half after the Civil War, the book offers a compelling and clearly substantiated argument that slavery and race were at the heart of our great national crisis. The fifteen years since the original publication of Apostles of Disunion have seen an intensification of debates surrounding the Confederate flag and Civil War monuments. In a powerful new afterword to this anniversary edition, Dew situates the book in relation to these recent controversies and factors in the role of vast financial interests tied to the internal slave trade in pushing Virginia and other upper South states toward secession and war.
