Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Outbreak of the Rebellion and the Policy of the Government With Regard to Its Suppression: Presented to Both Houses of Parliament by Command of His Majesty, April, 1915 The latter section confines itself exclusively to the efforts of the Government to restore peace without bloodshed, and subsequently to induce the rebels in the field to surrender without further bloodshed. N O attempt is made to describe the military measures by means Of which the rebellion was ultimately brought to an end. The first section, in which the outbreak of the rebellion is sketched, had to be compiled under difficulties. A mass of material in the hands of the Government could not be used, as it forms important evidence in the cases of individuals on trial or awaiting trial In the case of certain German agents, investigations are still being pursued, and it would be premature to disclose the information so far collected. On certain points, again, the available evidence had not yet been properly sifted at the time of writing. It is therefore possible that the narrative may require subsequent amplification as to details. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Seek none, Conspiracy; Hide it in smiles and affability: For if thou put thy native semblance on, Not Erebus itself were dim enough To hide thee from prevention." Julius Caesar. I Purpose in this monograph to give an account of the political conspiracies immediately preceding the Rebellion of 1861 against the authority of the National Government of the United States of America. It would be absurd to assume that one of the greatest civil wars of modern times was the result of conspiracies. The causes which led to it were far too deep and strong to be controlled by the machinations of politicians.

In Ulysses S. Grant: A Victor, Not a Butcher, historian Edward H. Bonekemper III proves that Grant’s casualty rates actually compared favorably with those of other Civil War generals. His perseverance, decisiveness, moral courage, and political acumen place him among the greatest generals of the Civil War—indeed, of all military history. Bonekemper proves that it was no historical accident that Grant accepted the surrender of three entire Confederate armies and won the Civil War. Bonekemper ably silences Grant’s critics and restores Grant to the heroic reputation he so richly deserves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grant and Lee: Victorious American and Vanquished Virginian is a comprehensive, multi-theater, war-long comparison of the command skills of Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. Written by Edward H. Bonekemper III, Grant and Lee clarifies the impact both generals had on the outcome of the Civil War—namely, the assistance that Lee provided to Grant by Lee's excessive casualties in Virginia, the consequent drain of Confederate resources from Grant's battlefronts, and Lee's refusal and delay of reinforcements to the combat areas where Grant was operating. The reader will be left astounded by the level of aggression both generals employed to secure victory for their respective causes, as Bonekemper demonstrates that Grant was a national general whose tactics were consistent with acheiving Union victory, whereas Lee's own priorities constantly undermined the Confederacy's chances of winning the war. Building on detailed accounts of both generals' major campaigns and battles, this book provides a detailed comparison of the primary military and personal traits of the two men. That analysis supports the preface discussion and the chapter-by-chapter conclusions that Grant did what the North needed to do to win the war: be aggressive, eliminate enemy armies, and do so with minimal casualties (154,000), while Lee was too offensive for the undermanned Confederacy, suffered intolerable casualties (209,000), and allowed his obsession with the Commonwealth of Virginia to obscure the broader interests of the Confederacy. In addition, readers will find interest in the 18 highly detailed and revealing battle maps, as well as in a comprehensive set of appendices that describes the casualties incurred by each army, battle by battle.

Grant: their ordinary "Western" backgrounds, their early struggles to succeed, and their history-making relationship during the Civil War. Though generally remembered by history as two very different personalities, the soft-spoken Lincoln and often-crude Grant in fact shared a similar drive and determination, as this in-depth character study illustrates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Irish Rebellion in 1798: Memoirs of the Union, Emmett's Insurrection in 1803 Like the story of a life, the history of kingdoms is generall preg nant with vicissitude. The sudden rise or rapid dissolution 0 a state is rarely brought about - the fall of empires is gradual - all have their era of danger or prosperity - and to avert the one and improve the other is the best test of an able and efficient executive. The most startling period of European history will be found to embrace that stormy interval, occurring between the outbreak of the French revolution, and the legislative act, which, abolishing a faulty home government, made Ireland an integral portion of the British empire. From political evil, political good will frequently arise; and after a painful and sanguinary probation, that consolidation of British inﬂuence and power was accomplished, which enabled England in fifteen brief years afterwards to restore the tranquillity of Europe, while her own national dignity was amply vindicated, and lasting advantages secured. For twenty years before the French revolution broke forth in all its horrors, the evil star of England had been in the ascendant. The colonies were driven into rebellion; and that discontent which had government had induced was consummated by worse measures, and the states separated from the mother-country. The temper of the times was unfriendly to concession - when the sword was drawn the scabbard was thrown away - and sanative diplomacy was not the course resorted to by the Court of St. James to reclaim her unruly but ill-used children. TO coerce, and not conciliate, was the evil policy of the personages in power - bad statesmanship did for America what her own exertions could not have achieved - and England, by rejecting their complaints, forced independence on her refractory colonists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Angeles incarcerates more people than any other city in the United States, which imprisons more people than any other nation on Earth. This book explains how the City of Angels became the capital city of the world's leading incarcerator. Marshaling more than two centuries of evidence, historian Kelly Lytle Hernandez unmasks how histories of native elimination, immigrant exclusion, and black disappearance drove the rise of incarceration in Los Angeles. In this telling, which spans from the Spanish colonial era to the outbreak of the 1965 Watts Rebellion, Hernandez documents the persistent historical bond between the racial fantasies of conquest, namely its settler colonial form, and the eliminatory capacities of incarceration. But City of Inmates is also a chronicle of resilience and rebellion, documenting how targeted peoples and communities have always fought back. They busted out of jail, forced Supreme Court rulings, advanced revolution across bars and borders, and, as in the summer of 1965, set fire to the belly of the city. With these acts those who fought the rise of incarceration in Los Angeles altered the course of history in the city, the borderlands, and beyond. This book recounts how the dynamics of conquest met deep reservoirs of rebellion as Los Angeles became the City of Inmates, the nation's carceral core. It is a story that is far from over.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History isn't always written by the winners... Twenty-first-century controversies over Confederate monuments attest to the enduring significance of our nineteenth-century Civil War. As Lincoln knew, the meaning of America itself depends on how we understand that fratricidal struggle. As soon as the Army of Northern Virginia laid down its arms at Appomattox, a group of Confederate officers took up their pens to refight the war for the history books. They composed a new narrative—the Myth of the Lost Cause—seeking to ennoble the sacrifice and defeat of the South, which popular historians in the twentieth century would perpetuate. Unfortunately, that myth would distort the historical imagination of Americans, north and south, for 150 years. In this balanced and compelling correction of the historical record, Edward Bonekemper helps us understand the Myth of the Lost Cause and its effect on the social and political controversies that are still important to all Americans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the general view that Robert E. Lee was a military genius who staved off inevitable Confederate defeat against insurmountable odds. Instead, the author contends that Lee was responsible for the South's loss in a war it could have won.Instead, as this book demonstrates, Lee unnecessarily went for the win, squandered his irreplaceable troops, and weakened his army so badly that military defeat became inevitable. It describes how Lee's army took 80,000 casualties in Lees first fourteen months of command-while imposing 73,000 casualties on his opponents. With the Confederacy outnumbered four to one, Lee's aggressive strategy and tactics proved to be suicidal. Also described arc Lee's failure to take charge of the battlefield (such as on the second day of Gettysburg), his overly complex and ineffective battle plans (such as those at Antietam and during the Seven Days' campaign), and his vague and ambiguous orders (such as those that deprived him of Jeb Stuart's services for most of Gettysburg).Bonekemper looks beyond Lee's battles in the East and describes how Lee's Virginia-first myopia played a major role in crucial Confederate failures in the West. He itemizes Lee's refusals to provide reinforcements for Vicksburg or Tennessee in mid-1863, his causing James Longstreet to arrive at Chickamauga with only a third of his troops, his idea to move Longstreet away from Chattanooga just before Grant's troops broke through the undeemanned Confederates there, and his failure to reinforce Atlanta in the critical months before the 1864 presidential election.Bonekemper argues that Lee's ultimate failure was his prolonging of the hopeless and bloody slaughter even afterUnion victory had been ensured by a series of events: the fall of Atlanta, the re-election of Lincoln, and the fall of Petersburg and Richmond.Finally, the author explores historians' treatment of Lee, including the deification of him by failed Confederate generals attempting to resurrect their own reputations. Readers will not fred themselves feeling neutral about this stinging critique of the hero of The Lost Cause.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ireland and Her Churches Ireland is at the present moment in a condition of which a London journal gives the following summary description The new outbreak of Fenianism in Ireland is unquestionably of a very serious character. When we consider what the circumstances of this new outbreak signify, then we say it takes a serious aspect. It shows that disaffection in Ireland is wide-spread, that it is growing, that it has an organ isation which works in precisely the most harrassing manner; and, moreover, that while its mode of working is judicious enough to harass our mighty military power, it is audacious enough and successful enough to encourage the rebellious spirit which so largely prevails over the country. In short, this outbreak justifies all the apprehensions expressed in this journal three weeks ago, namely - that in a country like Ireland five or six thousand rebels, divided into different bands, and acting on the plan of the late Polish insurrection, may harass and fatigue five times that number of troops, and keep the country in a state of revolt for an almost indefi nite time. The Polish insurrection, in which there were never more than men engaged, made work for half a million of soldiers. As we have said, the rebellion could not have lasted a week if the insurgents had collected in one body, but under the guerilla system on which it was maintained the insurrection, was prolonged for more than a year. Now this is the danger we have before us In Ireland and the present outbreak shows that the Fenians know how to make it a very serious one. A hundred men 'seen' here, two hundred 'met' there, half an army in general pursuit, the whole country in agita tion and alarm, and the executive so far baffled and helpless - that is the spectacle we have to contem plate through the telegrams of yesterday and to-day. There is nothing for it but a prompt and wise severity. A considerable di ference exists between the severity wnich is wise and the severity which is cruel, though both may be very formidable. The Irish Executive must adopt the first of them without flinching, and without an hour's delay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
