Book Description
These are chiefly letters received by George Nicholas Sanders from personal friends and political figures. The letters are written by Richard M. Johnson, the ninth Vice-President of the United States; William Preston, Congressman from Kentucky and Confederal General; Hershel V. Johnson, governor of Georgia; Reverdy Johnson, famed constitutional lawyer, U.S. Senator and diplomat; Sanders wife Mary Mackell Bowie Johnson; William D. Porter, a U.S. naval officer; and John White Stevenson, governor of Kentucky, 1867-1871. The letters mostly concern politics and public affairs. Of particular interest is Richard Johnson's letter concerning his gratitude to the electorate for his thirty-seven years spent in public life and Hershel Johnson's note, apparently addressed to Sanders's daughter, in which he thanks her "for the Flag device and Motto."

Book Description
Collected from scattered sources throughout the United States, these letters cover the years of Douglas' mature life, from 1833, when the twenty-year-old Douglas, newly arrived in Illinois, recorded the first impressions of his new home, to 1861, three weeks before his death, when as a national leader he sought to rally his section and his party to the cause of the Union. They extol the virtues of Illinois as an agricultural state ; discuss the Mormons' expulsion from Nauvoo, the Mexican War, railroad matters, political developments, appointments, slavery, and secession ; include autobiographical sketches ; and accept Lincoln's challenge and set up the arrangements for the now famous Lincoln-Douglas debates in the U.S. senatorial campaign of 1858. -- from inside jacket flap.

The Dark Intrigue
Author: Frank Van der Linden
Publisher: Fulcrum Publishing
ISBN: 9781555916107
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
The Dark Intrigue tells for the first time the incredible story of how leaders of an American political party, during the Civil War, conferred cordially with enemy agents in a foreign country in a scheme to oust the president of the United States and enforce peace without victory. Most Northerners initially supported Abraham Lincoln's war against the Southern Confederacy to save the Union. But later, many turned against it when the death toll soared above a half million. Hoping to recapture the White House as a "peace party," leading Democrats met with Confederate agents in the summer of 1864 and discussed ways to end the war-not win it. Lincoln charged that one Confederate agent, C. C. Clay, had convinced the Democrats to orchestrate an armistice. This intriguing book reveals letters from Clay that confirm Lincoln's suspicions. A fascinating read, The Dark Intrigue brings an important piece of Civil War history to light.

To Govern the Devil in Hell
Author: Pearl Ponce
Publisher: Northern Illinois University Press
ISBN: 1501758039
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
One hundred and fifty years after Kansas was admitted to the Union, we still find ourselves fascinated by the specter of "Bleeding Kansas" and the violence that preceded the American Civil War by five years. Although ample attention has been devoted to understanding why territorial violence broke out in Kansas in 1856, of equal concern but less illuminated is the question of why government, both local and national, allowed the violence to continue unstanched for so long. This question is fundamentally about governance-its existence, exercise, limits, and continuance-and its study has ramifications for understanding both Kansas events and why the American experiment in government failed in 1861. In addition, the book also sheds light on the nature of democracy, the challenges of implanting it in distant environs, the necessity of cooperation at the various levels of government, and the value of strong leadership. To Govern the Devil in Hell uses the prism of governance to investigate what went wrong in territorial Kansas. From the first elections in late 1854 and early 1855, local government was tarnished with cries of illegitimacy that territorial officials could not ameliorate. Soon after, a shadow government was created which further impeded local management of territorial challenges. Ultimately, this book addresses why Presidents Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan failed to act, what hindered Congress from stepping into the void, and why and how the lack of effective governance harmed Kansas and later the United States.
