Excerpt from The Southern Spy: Letters on the Policy and Inauguration of the Lincoln War, Written Anonymously in Washington and Elsewhere
It cannot be doubted, sir, that you procured the battle of Sumter; you had no desire or hope to retain the fort; you neglected to fight, until every chance Of doing SO with success had passed away; and when at last you did draw your sword against the sovereignty Of South Carolina, the circumstances of the battle, the non-participation Of your fleet in it, show that it was not a contest for victory, but onlya shallow trick to entitle you to the advantages to be derived from an action for assault and battery. It was, sir, a trick - a trick to transfer easily, and under false pretences, the matters in dispute between the two sections from the arbitrament of reason to that of arms. How is it that you hope to make yourself not responsi ble for this unnatural and Shocking appeal to war?

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of letters penned by a Southerner amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the American Civil War. The author, initially a proponent of unity, becomes disillusioned as the conflict escalates, leading them to advocate for Southern independence. The letters offer a scathing critique of President Lincoln's policies, particularly his decision to engage in armed conflict. The author contends that the war's origins lie not in the immediate events at Fort Sumter but rather in the long-standing tensions and injustices endured by the South. This perspective challenges the prevailing narrative of the war as solely a fight to preserve the Union, instead portraying it as a struggle against Northern tyranny and economic exploitation. The author delves into complex themes of political power, economic disparity, and the ethical dimensions of war. Employing a blend of historical analysis and passionate rhetoric, the letters expose the stark realities of a nation divided and the human cost of ideological clashes. Ultimately, this book serves as a powerful testament to the complexities of the Civil War era, shedding light on the motivations and justifications of those who supported the Southern cause and offering a nuanced understanding of the conflict's enduring legacy.
