Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, in Support of the Resolution to Amend the Constitution So as to Abolish Slavery: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, April 5, 1864 I believe I speak advisedly when I say that, whatever may be their language, the court designed and affirmed no such general proposi tion. They held what, indeed, cannot be denied, because your legislation recognises its existence, and because, independent of that recognition, the fact is apparent that a state of war exists. That the insurrection, however, at the first it might have been arrested by the mere civil power; had culminated to a point which places it beyond that power or any other but the power of war. In saying this, how ever, the court referred only to the particular cases which were before them, and cases of like character, and to the particular ques tions presented by such cases. They relied upon belligerent rights growing out ofthe actual war, merely with the view to show that goods captured upon the high seas coming from the territorial limits of the rebellious States were to be considered under the prize law as prize of war; and, that the question, whether legal prize or not was to be determined by the principles of the prize law as a part of the law of nations. But in so ruling, in answer to the objection, that, although in one sense a war, it was a rebellion in which each citizen in the rebellious States' was guilty of treason against the United States they said that that was true, but that such parties were not the less to be esteemed enemies because they were traitors.

Book excerpt: Before the Civil War, Lois Bryan Adams was a well-known Michigan poet and editor In 1863 she left Detroit for Washington, D.C., where she was one of the first women in the federal civil service and one of the first employees of the United States Department of Agriculture. In addition to her government position, Adams was a regular correspondent for the Detroit Advertiser and Tribune.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Preserving the White Man’s Republic, Joshua Lynn reveals how the national Democratic Party rebranded majoritarian democracy and liberal individualism as conservative means for white men in the South and North to preserve their mastery on the eve of the Civil War. Responding to fears of African American and female political agency, Democrats in the late 1840s and 1850s reinvented themselves as "conservatives" and repurposed Jacksonian Democracy as a tool for local majorities of white men to police racial and gender boundaries by democratically withholding rights. With the policy of "popular sovereignty," Democrats left slavery’s expansion to white men’s democratic decision-making. They also promised white men local democracy and individual autonomy regarding temperance, religion, and nativism. Translating white men’s household mastery into political power over all women and Americans of color, Democrats united white men nationwide and made democracy a conservative assertion of white manhood. Democrats thereby turned traditional Jacksonian principles—grassroots democracy, liberal individualism, and anti-statism—into staples of conservatism. As Lynn’s book shows, this movement sent conservatism on a new, populist trajectory, one in which democracy can be called upon to legitimize inequality and hierarchy, a uniquely American conservatism that endures in our republic today.
