Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Papers on the Causes of the Civil War Washington wrote to David Stuart in June 1790: The introduction of the Quaker memorial respecting slavery was, to be sure, not only ill-timed, but occasioned a great waste of time. Tu 1793 the Fugitive Slave law was passed, whereby a runaway slave captured in a free State, must be returned to his owner. As the new States were admitted into the Union they came in for the most part alternately free and slave States. This was done to preserve the balance of power in Congress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cheever, Lincoln: And the Causes of the Civil War The following paper was read at a meeting of the American Antiquarian Society in Boston, April 15, 1936 - the seventy-first anniversary, as it happened, of the death of Lincoln. It recites the main facts of the life of the aboli tionist clergyman, George Barrell Cheever, and the train of events, with Cheever's part in them, which led to the election of Lincoln, secession and the Civil War. At that time there was no business rivalry in the North against the South and no economic questions divided the sections. The question of the rightness or wrongness of holding people in slavery was the only source of the heat which precipitated the war; which, therefore, was an exception to the rule now widely accepted that wars always take their origin from the interplay of eco nomic forces. This rule also overlooks the wars, producing factors of personal, national and racial ambitions, as well as the reactions of patriotic, pacifistic and religious emotionalism which those ambitions engender.

It had no power to act on individuals. It could not command the states. It could move only by requisitions and recommendations. Its functions were essentially diplomatic, like those of the states-general of the old Dutch republic, like those of the modern Germanic confederation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on the Civil War and Reconstruction: And Related Topics Of the essays included in this volume all but one - that on "The Process of Reconstruction" - have been published before during the last eleven years: four in the Political Science Quarterly, one in the Yale Review, and one in the "Papers of the American Historical Association. For the purpose of their present appearance all have been subjected to revision, which has resulted in some cases in considerable modifications. The first five essays are devoted immediately to various phases of the Civil War and Reconstruction. The last two, while not concerned exclusively with those topics, have nevertheless such a relation to the legal and political questions treated as to justify their inclusion in the volume. To the younger generation of reading men at the present day the military history of the Civil War is familiar or readily accessible; the constitutional and political history is neither.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil War in History A modern writer has said: "History is a diary of the human race." Such a diary does not disclose all its teachings to the writer, nor to the actors in the events recorded. If faithfully and truly written, the story told will unfold as the years go by, and present to those who read, lessons and truths unthought of when the record was written. The diary of the Civil War has been written by many and distinguished historians, some actors in its scenes, and others not, who have sought to record the great and controlling events of that bloody struggle from different view points and often colored by personal experiences, or told in such way as to add luster to the names and deeds of certain distinguished actors. But these diaries have given us, in the main, a reliable story, from which we may draw safe and abiding lessons for the nation's future guidance. Many diaries of the Civil War have been written in humbler fashion, by less distinguished people, and recording the deeds of humbler men, which are none the less truthful, and which, none the less, contain the richer teachings of those strenuous years. Each one of us, comrades, has written such a diary, either upon paper, or in the hearts and lives of those near to us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Historical Society Papers, Vol. 1: January to June, 1876 The late civil war which raged in the United States has been very generally attributed to the abolition of slavery as its cause. When we consider how deeply the institutions of southern society and the Operations of southern industry were founded in slavery, we must admit that this was cause enough to have produced sucha result. But great and wide as was that cause in its far-reaching effects, a close study of the history of the times will bring us to the conclu sion that it was the fear of a mischief far more extensive and deeper even than this which drove cool and reﬂecting minds in the South to believe that it was better to make the death struggle at once than submit tamely to what was inevitable, unless its coming could be averted by force. Men, too old to be driven blindly by passion, women, whose gentle and kindly instincts were deeply impressed by the horrors of war, and young men, with fortune and position yet to be won in an open and inviting field, if peace could be main tained so as to secure the opportunities of liberty and fair treat ment, united in the common cause and determined to make a holo canst of all that was dear to them on the altars of war sooner than submit without resistance to the loss of liberty, honor and pro perty by a cruel abuse of power and a breach of plighted faith on the part of those who had professed to enter with them into a union of justice and fraternal affection.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Civil War in the United States Though a Southerner, the son of one Who fought in the Confederate armies, accustomed since early childhood to hear personal narratives of Southern dash and valor (but to read more often the Northern version of the war); it is my purpose to give an unprejudiced account of the events nar rated and of the personages mentioned. It shall be my en deaver to be untrammeled either by sectional sentiment or partisan prejudice. By balancing and carefully weighing the value of State records, official war reports, the truthful ness of personal narratives, and the fairness of historical writings, I shall endeavor to give equal justice to all;a1ways keeping 111 mind that though we have a great united country the South and North alike Wish honor to be given Where honor is due and that human nature asks that the darker places in many lives be not too highly illuminated. To have a proper conception of great historical events and of the magnitude of these events, it is necessary to have an intelligent knowledge Of the real and immediate causes lead ing to them. Where war occurs political conditions and social affairs of the time must be understood, and the wealth, natural resources, characteristics of the people, and military supplies must be taken into account, througheut the history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Civil War The mountaineers did me the honor to elect me their captain. It was the first Office I had ever held, and I verily believed it would be the last; for I expected to fight with these men till the war ended or until I should be killed. Our first decision was to mount and go as cavalry. We had not then learned, as we did later, the full meaning of that war-song, If you want to have a good time, jine the cavalry; but like most Southerners we were inured to horseback, and all preferred that great arm Of the service. This company Of mounted men was organized as soon as a conﬂict seemed probable and prior to any call for volunteers. They were doomed to a disappointment, NO cavalry now needed was the laconic and stunning reply to the Offer Of our services. What was to be done, was the perplexing question. The proposition to wait until mounted men were needed was promptly negatived by the suggestion that we were SO far from any point where a battle was likely to occur, and so hidden from view by the surrounding mountains, that we might be forgotten and the war might end before we had a chance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political History of Secession: To the Beginning of the American Civil War Greeley gives to the preface of The Great American Con ict. Few authors can afford to be as frank in their prefaces as Horace Greeley was in his, for he had the advantage of knowing that many would be interested in hearing whatever he might have to say and that there was some foundation for any seeming egotism. The preface to a volume like this is usually the last and the hardest thing to write. I have repeatedly rewritten this, in a vain effort to make it satisfactory to myself. I do not propose to expand it by telling what the book is about, or to apologize for writing it. The title and table of contents sufficiently indicate its general character. I have endeavored in a volume of moderate size to give a concise history of the development of the causes, of which slavery was the chief, but not the only one, that culminated in the Civil War. Although it is difficult to find new facts, it is still possible to array old facts in such a way as to give them a new interest, and to develop new theories more or less interest ing and instructive. But to avoid writing too much or too little; to escape the criticism that what is good is not new and what is new is not good; above all to make what is written as accurate as possible, - to do all this is not an easy task.
