Excerpt from War: A Poem, With Copious Notes, Founded on the Revolution of 1861-62, (Up to the Battles Before Richmond, Inclusive)
The election of a sectional President, and one, too, an acknowledged enemy to the institutions of the South, in 1861, fired that portion of the happiest and most glorious nation in the world with indignation. The conservative element of both sections looked on aghast - they had been defeated in their endeavors to ward off the appending storm, and a majority of the electoral vote proclaimed Abraham Lincoln, the Abolitionist candidate, President elect of the United States of America.
South Carolina was the first State to deny the authority of a purely sectional chief executive; she raised the banner of "rebellion," and was followed by the rest of the cotton States, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Florida; the border States, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas, remaining in statu quo.
During the interim between the election and inauguration of Lincoln, the seven cotton States prepared to resist the threatened coercion of the United States. They armed themselves and seized the forts, arsenals, armories, ships, war materials, &c., of the Federal Government, and secured themselves against invasion. Troops were mustered into service and instructed in camp duty, and the youth of the city and the rural district rushed to the standard of the Southern Confederacy.
Major R. Anderson, the commandant of the forts in Charleston harbor, was summoned to surrender the property under his charge. He at the time occupied Fort Moultrie. Assuming acquiescence to the demand, he put the "rebels" off their guard, and suddenly changed his quarters to Fort Sumter, a new and strong work in the centre of the harbor. This act of duplicity greatly exasperated the people, and a determined siege was commenced. Thousands of troops were called to Charleston; strong batteries were constructed on every available point around the stronghold of the Federalists, and all intercourse with the main land or sea cut off. This fort remained in a beleaguered state until the 13th of April.
In the meanwhile the Southerners had taken possession of many of the military works on the coast of Florida. Fort Pickens resisted, and was besieged in a like manner as Fort Sumter.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is the author's account of the Civil War in verse, beginning before the battle of Fort Sumter and ending with the aftermath of the First Battle of Manassas in Virginia, more commonly known as the Battle of Bull Run. The author was a Southern sympathizer, and their account is written from the perspective of a Confederate supporter throughout, from the election of Lincoln to the battle where the Union's 'Grand Army' led by General Scott was defeated by the troops of Beauregard and Johnston, ending in a pell-mell rout. The campaign is described in great detail, from the initial attempt to cross Bull Run, to the eventual retreat of the Union Army towards Washington after nightfall. Confederate leaders such as Beauregard and Johnston are praised, while Lincoln and his supporters are criticized. The text is highly evocative of the passion and turmoil of the time, described as being full of hope, emblazoned with arrogance, notwithstanding his numerous defeats.Hark! there's a sudden boom- the night air quakes, the sleeper, wondering on his couch, awakes.
