Senate, February 1, 1861, on the President's Message, "the Message of Peace From Virginia" It cannot, however, be doubted that there is a strong conservative feeling in many members of the Republican party3 and that ground may be shared, to some extent, by the President elect 3 but it is to be feared it may be confined to a very strong desire to preserve the Union without surrendering any of the cardinal points of the Republican faith. All such conservatism, it is needless to say, at this time, is by itself of small practical value. The southern States are not willing to trust their destiny or that of this great nation to such conser vatism. They require more than a mere promise to feel sure there will be an abstinence from wrong doing. They ask a public recognition of principles, and an agreement which will render injustice impossible, or at least highly improbable 3 something which shall not grant to our brethren of the South, from political charity, what the Constitution secures to them as a right.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In this wide-ranging volume, eminent historians John David Smith and Raymond Arsenault assemble a distinguished group of scholars to build on the growing body of work on the "Long Civil War" and break new ground. They cover a variety of related subjects, including antebellum missionary activity and colonialism in Africa, the home front, the experiences of disabled veterans in the US Army Veteran Reserve Corps, and Dwight D. Eisenhower's personal struggles with the war's legacy amid the growing civil rights movement. The contributors offer fresh interpretations and challenging analyses of topics such as ritualistic suicide among former Confederates after the war and whitewashing in Walt Disney Studios' historical Cold War–era movies. Featuring many leading figures in the field, The Long Civil War meaningfully expands the focus of mid-nineteenth-century history as it was understood by previous generations of historians.
