Excerpt from Notes on the Situation, as Published in the Chronicle and Sentinel
"Never despair of the Republic," was a much lauded Roman maxim. But maxims never saved a country, and this one did not save Rome. She was very great. The combined world was too weak to harm her. But she fell - fell by her own hands - and for centuries has remained fallen!
If good liberty-loving Americans almost despair of their country, the events of the last thirteen years would seem to be sufficient to save them from reproach. From the repeal of the Missouri Compromise until now, no period in human annals of thrice the duration exhibits such deception among leaders, such credulity among the people, such treachery by rulers and such energetic self-destruction by the nation.
The United States have done more in these years to weaken confidence in free institutions, and have inflicted more injury upon their own people, and created heavier burdens for their children and children's children, than the united armies and navies of the earth could have accomplished in fifty years. Before these notes close I may undertake to show the real causes of these evils. It is sufficient now to say that from 1854 a spirit which is enmity to the life of the Constitution has been dominant. The Government has been in the keeping of its enemies. We read of a great man who, while an infant, was nursed by a wolf. This may have been and may again be possible; but it never has been and never will be possible for men of extreme tempers and opinions to nurse a constitution whose only life is mutual concession for the common good.
The Southern people, greatly provoked and misguided, abandoned the Union to preserve the Constitution. While the Northern people, less provoked but equally misguided, made war to preserve the Union, by placing themselves under the lead of men who were the bitter, implacable enemies of the Constitution, and who were fore-determined to destroy or reform it.
After four years of heroic struggle, the Southern people laid down their arms because they were assured by their enemies, and taught by long trusted but faithless counsellors and office-holders among themselves, that, by so doing they would be again in the Union as before. The many believed this and withdrew their support and deserted their colors. The few who disbelieved were overpowered. But more than two years have passed - more than half the period of the actual conflict - and the Southern people, now thrice deluded, have not enjoyed the blessings of the Union! Why? Because these leaders of the North - true to their original hatred, and perfectly logical in that hatred - declare the Union shall not be restored except upon terms which practically destroy the Constitution, and which certainly leave no Union except one founded in force.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the fallout of a devastating civil war and the occupation of the defeated states by the victors. The author argues that while the vanquished are bound by the terms agreed upon when they surrendered their arms, they are not subject to the whims of the victors. The occupation, as enforced by the victors, is a gross violation of the terms of the surrender and the beginning of a descent into tyranny. The author warns that such tyranny is not inevitable, but only if the people unite to resist. The book provides a lens for evaluating the present and future of the region, and a framework for understanding the consequences of tyranny and oppression. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331001430_0
