"In this carefully researched book William J. Cooper gives us a fresh perspective on the period between Abraham Lincoln's election in November 1860 and the firing on Fort Sumter in April 1861, during which all efforts to avoid or impede secession and prevent war failed. Here is the story of the men whose decisions and actions during the crisis of the Union resulted in the outbreak of the Civil War. Sectional comprimise had been critical in the history of the country, from the Constitutional Convention of 1787 through to 1860, and ws a hallmark of the nation. On several volatile occasions political leaders had crafted solutions to the vexing problems dividing North and South. During the post-election crisis many Americans assumed that once again a political compromise would settle yet another dispute. Instead, in those crucial months leading up to the clash at Fort Sumter, that tradition of compromise broke down and a rapid succession of events led to the great cataclysm in American history, the Civil War. All Americans did not view this crisis from the same perspective. Strutting southern fire-eaters designed to break up the Union. Some Republicans, crowing over their electoral triumph, evinced little concern about the threatened dismemberment of the country. Still others - northerners and southerners, anti-slave and pro-slave alike - strove to find an equitable settlement that would maintain the Union whole. Cooper captures the sense of contingency, showing Americans in these months as not knowing where decisions would lead, how events would unfold. The people who populate these pages could not foresee what war, if it came, would mean, much less predict its outcome. We Have the War Upon Us helps us understand what the major actors said and did: the Republican party, the Democratic party, southern secessionists, southern Unionists; why the pro-compromise forces lost; and why the American tradition of sectional compromise failed. It reveals how the major actors perceived what was happening and the reasons they gave for their actions: Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, Stephen A. Douglas, William Henry Seward, John J. Crittenden, Charles Francis Adams, John Tyler, James Buchanan, and a host of others. William J. Cooper has written a full account of the North and the South, Republicans and Democrats, sectional radicals and sectional conservatives that deepens our insight into what is still one of the most controversial periods in American history." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

The lithograph shows an abandoned horse on the edge of a battle scene, with a verse underneath "One lonely stedd his rider waits in vain, around him ghastly heaps of warriors slain; While, like a pitying angel, comes the snow, o'er the sad scene a silver veil to throw."

Pamphlet. Condición: Very good. First edition of James Madison's Transmission of Two Letters from Gov. Harrison Of The Indiana Territory to Congress, published in 1811, after the Battle of Tippecanoe. Ilustrador. First Edition. Octavo, 24pp. Disbound. Free of foxing or notable wear. Includes the scarce folding chart of troops killed and wounded at Prophet's Town on November 7th, 1811. From the private collection of Tom Charles Huston. (Howes H-247). The Battle of Tippecanoe occurred on November 7, 1811, near present-day Lafayette, Indiana, between American forces led by Governor William Henry Harrison and Native American warriors associated with Shawnee leaders Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa. The battle took place near Prophetstown, with Harrison commanding approximately 1,000 troops, including regular soldiers, militia, and volunteers, while the Native American forces numbered around 500-700 warriors from various tribes. The Native Americans launched a surprise pre-dawn attack on Harrison's encampment but were eventually repelled. The Americans suffered around 62 killed and 126 wounded, with similar or slightly higher casualties estimated for the Native Americans. The battle weakened Tecumseh's confederation and led to the burning of Prophetstown by Harrison's troops.
