Book excerpt: Excerpt from Words About the War: Or Plain Facts for Plain People With every American citizen, and we might almost say, with every citizen of a free government, our present war is the subject occupying the largest share of worldly attention and remark. No ordinary times are these in which we live. Human society is disturbed to its foundations, and the greatest questions of national order and existence are in the process of agitation. No longer need we turn our eyes toward European struggles, and pass sentence upon the deeds of another continent. The crisis of the age is under consideration at home. It is not a time for day-dreaming, but life-acting;not a period for doubtful disputations, but one when mind and men must with their reasons, opinions and acts throw the weight of their influence either upon the side of Liberty or Tyrany, of constitutional order and law, or of anarchy, confusion and misrule. It is vastly important that people of all classes and conditions should in this living present think and act aright, and not allow the interests of this or of coming generations to suffer damage by their delay. Right views are the parents of right action, and no earthly matter is at this time half so important as that the citizens of the country should be satisfied as to the causes that have brought about this war, as to the justness of our determined defence, and the results which are to be sought. Those who, under the first impulses of patriotism, have already recognized the great necessity of their decided co-operation and support of the Government in this war, need to know the facts bearing on the present struggle, that with calm and inflexible purpose they may be able to endure, if need be, prolonged effort, and occasional defeat.
