Excerpt from book: THE REBELLION: ITS ORIGIN AND LIFE IN SLAVEBY. In placid bay, on the south-eastern coast of the United States, stands a noble fortress, erected by the American Government, for the protection of a Southern commercial capital and the interior region connected with it. Through many years and at vast expense, New England granite was quarried, and by tens of thousands of tons transported ocean-wise, to drop into that bay the foundations of that fortress, and upon them to build its massive walls. It was completed; and behind its frowning battlements that commercial capital reposed in security, odorous of southern flowers and warm with the rays of a southern sun. That fortress was Sumter?that capital, CharlesTon; one named for a patriot of '76, the other for a British King; each appropriately named. The plain and solid granite fabric looked the republican hero?the ornate and aristocratic city typified the king. Both were destined to historic immortality. A Speech delivered in Mercantile Library Hall, St. Louis, April 14, 1862; having been previously spoken, in substance at Union, Mo., April 7, 1862. In the fortress was a little band of seventy men, with less than three days' food in store, and above them waved the American flag; on the neighboring shores, behind ominous batteries, under a banner till then unknown, were a hundred times their number, in warlike array. It was night. The silent stars looked down upon the bay, the city, the batteries, the fortress, the seven thousand men, and the seventy; and nothing told them that ere they shone upon the brow of another night, a shock would thrill from that spot along the world's nerves, which might not cease to vibrate while the world stands.

Book Description
Excerpt from Union and Anti-Slavery Speeches: Delivered During the Rebellion IT is with no reluctance that I have acceded to the suggestions of friends in the publication of this book; nor is any apology deemed necessary for its appearance. It contains the fruits of the most earnest labor of my life, and speaks the supreme con victions of my judgment and conscience, and the intense emotions of my heart, concerning the terrible struggle through which our country is now passing. If I know myself in any tolerable degree, that labor has been prompted solely by a sense of patri otic duty, regardless of consequences to myself. It has, bindeed, been a labor of love for my country, for Truth, Liberty, and Humanity. I know no valid reason why the utterances owing from it, which, in a greater or less degree, secured attention in almost every part of the loyal States, at the time they appeared in the public journals of the day, should not, in a more perma nent form, continue to have such measure of in uence as their arguments and appeals are capable of exerting. My only regret is, that I could not have thrown into them a hundredfold greater power. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
