Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Barbarities of the Rebels: As Shown in Their Cruelty to the Federal Wounded and Prisoners; In Their Outrages Upon Union Men; In the Murder of Negroes, and in Their Unmanly Conduct Throughout the Rebellion The compiler of this pamphlet, who has seen much military service in the wars of Asia and Europe, has, in common with the friends of humanity and civilization throughout the world, watched with the deepest interest the progress of the American rebellion. He, too, alike with all who hear and read of the progress of events in this unnatural war, has been shocked with the barbarities with which the war has been conducted by the South barbarities which no war of ancient or modern times has exhibited, and which the savages of America, Africa or Polynesia never approached. These cruelties, inflicted by the Confederates upon Federal prisoners, upon Union men who would not uphold treason, and upon inoffensive negroes, ought to be made known, particularly to those in Great Britain who sympathize with the rebellious States; who are aiding them to maintain their independence, and in the establishing of an empire "whose foundations," to use the words of Vice President Stephens "are based upon slavery." The unmanly acts of the rebel government and many of its military officers, which none but barbarians would resort to, deserve also to be made known. With this view the compiler has cut from the newspapers and from official reports the accounts here presented, the authority for all of which is given. He believes that the facts here presented should be read by the soldiers in the Federal armies; by the "Copperheads" who sympathize with the rebels, and would make peace with them on their own terms, and by Europeans generally.
