DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Causes of the Civil War in America The Continental Congress, which was the central ad ministrative board during this epoch, was a diet of envoys from sovereign states. It had no power to act on individuals. It could not command the states. It could move only by requisitions and recommendations. Its functions were essentially diplomatic, like those of the states-general of the old Dutch republic, like those of the modern Germanic confederation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Historic Papers on the Causes of the Civil War Washington wrote to David Stuart in June 1790: The introduction of the Quaker memorial respecting slavery was, to be sure, not only ill-timed, but occasioned a great waste of time. Tu 1793 the Fugitive Slave law was passed, whereby a runaway slave captured in a free State, must be returned to his owner. As the new States were admitted into the Union they came in for the most part alternately free and slave States. This was done to preserve the balance of power in Congress.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Cheever, Lincoln: And the Causes of the Civil War The following paper was read at a meeting of the American Antiquarian Society in Boston, April 15, 1936 - the seventy-first anniversary, as it happened, of the death of Lincoln. It recites the main facts of the life of the aboli tionist clergyman, George Barrell Cheever, and the train of events, with Cheever's part in them, which led to the election of Lincoln, secession and the Civil War. At that time there was no business rivalry in the North against the South and no economic questions divided the sections. The question of the rightness or wrongness of holding people in slavery was the only source of the heat which precipitated the war; which, therefore, was an exception to the rule now widely accepted that wars always take their origin from the interplay of eco nomic forces. This rule also overlooks the wars, producing factors of personal, national and racial ambitions, as well as the reactions of patriotic, pacifistic and religious emotionalism which those ambitions engender.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Confederate Cause and Conduct in the War Between the States The "History Reports" contained in this volume (with the exception of the last one) were prepared for the Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans of Virginia, and are republished just as they were submitted to that body. When these papers were severally read to the Grand Camp, they were enthusiastically received and approved, were published in many of the newspapers of the country, and five thousand copies of each report were directed to be printed for general distribution. The fact that this issue has been exhausted, coupled with the further fact that many letters have been received from nearly every section of the country commending these reports, has been deemed a sufficient reason to warrant their publication in this more permanent form. It will be noticed that there is some little repetition in the last report of some of the statements contained in some of the others; but it must be remembered that this last report was prepared for the United Confederate Veterans which had already endorsed many of the former reports prepared for the Grand Camp of Virginia, and had directed that these should be incorporated in, and form a part of, the history reports of that great body of Confederate Veterans. The lecture on "Stonewall" Jackson and the account of the last hours and death of this remarkable man, prepared by his late Medical Director, are such interesting contributions to history, and have been so favorably received, that no apology is deemed necessary for inserting them in this volume.
