Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavery and Four Years of War, Vol. 1: A Political History of Slavery, in the United States; Together With a Narrative of the Campaigns, and Battles of the Civil War in Which the Author Took Part: 1861-1865 The writer of this book was a volunteer officer in the Union army throughout the war of the Great Rebellion, and his service was in the field. The book, having been written while the author was engaged in a somewhat active professional life, lacks that literary finish which results from much pruning and painstaking. He, how ever, offers no excuse for writing it, nor for its composition; he has presumed to nothing but the privilege of telling his own story in his own way. He has been at no time forgetful of the fact that he was a subordinate in a great conflict, and that other soldiers discharged their duties as faithfully as himself; and while no special favors are asked, he nevertheless hopes that what he has written may be accepted as the testimony of one who entertains a justifiable pride in having been connected with large armies and a participant in important campaigns and great battles. He flatters himself that his summary of the political history of slavery in the United States, and of the important political events occurring upon the firing on Fort Sumter, and the ac count he has given of the several attempts to negotiate a peace before the final overthrow of the Confederate armies, will be of special interest to students of American history. Slavery bred the doctrine of State-rights, which led, inevitably, to secession and rebellion. The story of slavery and its abolition in the United States is the most tragic one in the world's annals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Political History of Slavery in the United States, Vol. 1 In offering this book to the public I know that it is fragmentary in the sense that the whole purpose the author had in view in writing it has not been achieved, although the parts presented are in themselves complete. When in the middle of his last term Senator George announced that he would not offer for reelection it was his expectation to devote the leisure to be thus secured to the discussion of the constitutional deficiencies of the reconstruction legislation, especially that part of it which interferes with the unhindered right of the States to regulate the suffrage, add that as the third and last section to the book, and so complete his whole plan. Unhappily he was overtaken by death before the day of his leisure arrived. After the author realized he would not be permitted to accomplish all he sought when he began writing he doubted the wisdom of publishing any part of the book, but left the decision of that question as well as the preparation of the manuscript for the press in the hands of his friend and successor, the Honorable H. D. Money. Mr. Money decided to publish so much of the work as was completed, but because of his defective eyesight deferred the matter for some time in the hope that his eyes would improve. However, finding that hope vain, he undertook the necessary labor despite his defective vision, and read the difficult handwriting of Senator George to an operator who made a typewritten copy of the original manuscript. But when he had proceeded thus far Mr. Money realized that, because of his imperfect vision and his own multiplied duties, it was altogether impracticable for him to devote to the task the necessary time and attention; so he reluctantly abandoned the effort and returned the manuscript. One or two other unsuccessful efforts were made to get the matter prepared for publication, and time passed on.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in America, Vol. 1 From the closing months of 1860 to the spring of 1865, the United States presented to the gaze of mankind a saddening and humiliating spectacle. Treasonable menaces had ripened into treasonable deeds. A rebellion of gigantic proportions burst upon the nation with suddenness and fierceness. Violence held its carnival and reaped its bloody harvest. Millions of treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives were sacrificed on the wasting shrine of civil war. During that stern conflict, and since its close, thoughtful men have asked why this Christian nation, with so many ties to bind it together, and with such momentous interests to be imperilled, was rent and dissevered by fraternal strife. Why was the soil of republican America reddened with the blood of husbands and fathers, sons and brothers, and bathed with the tears of wives and mothers, daughters and sisters? In the lights of the present, it is now more clearly seen that the dark spirit of slavery was the inspiration of these crimes against the peace, the unity, and the life of the nation, and that these sacrifices of property, of health, and of life were the inflictions of the Slave Power in its maddened efforts to make perpetual its hateful dominion. These bitter fruits of the seeds sown in colonial times afford another signal illustration of the truth of the inspired declaration that righteousness exalteth a nation, and sin is a reproach to any people.

This book was released on 2016-07-17 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitutional and Political History of the United States, Vol. 1: 1750-1833, State Sovereignty and Slavery I take it to be a good omen for the success of this work that just at this moment an English translation of it is to be offered to the American public. As all the sources I have been able to use, are, without a single exception, printed books well known to every student of American politics, no new facts are to be found in the work, and I even cannot claim that new views of importance have pre sented themselves to my mind. Yet I trust that it will not be considered as lost labor. There are, among the authors who have written on the constitutional law or the politics of the United States, more than one, whom, in all candid ness, I do not pretend to equal in many very important respects. But I venture to assert that among all the works, covering about as large a ground as mine, there is not one to be found which has been written with as much sober ness of mind. And it is not strange that it should be so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Rutherford Birchard Hayes Nineteenth President of the United States, Vol. 1 The Life of Mr. Hayes was to have been written by his most intimate personal and political friend, William Henry Smith. That was Mr. Hayes's hope and Mr. Smith's purpose. Soon after Mr. Hayes's death Mr. Smith began the contemplated work. His plan was to write not a simple biography, but a history to be called T he Life and Times of Hayes. From the beginning of Mr. Hayes's life to* the time of his Administration as President, the slavery question, in its various ramifications and effects, had been the dominant concern of American politics and statesmanship. The policy toward the South pursued by Mr. Hayes when President practically marked the final passing of the question from national politics. The first half of my active political life, Mr. Hayes wrote in his later years, was first to resist the increase of slavery and secondly to destroy it. The second half has been to rebuild, and to get rid of the despotic and corrupting tendencies and the animosities of the war, and the other legacies of slavery. It was Mr. Smith's wish, therefore, more particularly, to trace the influence of slavery on American political development through the period of its aggres _sive demands, and onwards, until the problems left by the Civil War, which was its inevitable consequence, had been solved. In spite of failing health, Mr. Smith, at the time of his death, in midsummer, 1896, had substantially completed a large propor tion of his project. From his manuscript, what he had written relating to slavery was extracted, arranged in orderly sequence, and given to the public in 1903 under the title The Political H is tory of Slavery. This is a praiseworthy contribution to American history, though unfortunately deprived of the fuller presentation of certain facts and forces which undoubtedly Mr. Smith would have given his work, could it have had the benefit of a final revision at his hands.
