Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from The History of the Civil War in America, Vol. 1: Comprising a Full and Impartial Account of the Origin and Progress of the Rebellion, of the Various Naval and Military Engagements, of the Heroic Deeds Performed by Armies and Individuals

The con?ict in which our nation is now involved, is simply a desperate struggle, on the part of the slaveholders, to retain, by force of arms, that domination in the government of this Republic, which they had so long held, and which, by the' natural operation of the ballot-box, they were slowly but surely losing. We have here, simply the repetition of that great con?ict, which, for ages, has agitated our globe - the con?ict between aristocratic usurpation and popular rights. The battle has assumed the most momentous attitude, since it arrays, on either side, all the intel lectual and material energies developed by the nineteenth century.
