DEAR CAPTAIN SPEED: I have just concluded my final examination of the several articles prepared by you under the general title of "The Union Cause In Kentucky." They are to be cbmmerfded'for the fairness and fulness with which the facts are stated, as well as for the genuine patriotic spirit pervading them all. The Survivors of the struggle of 1861 in Kentucky, and equally their descendants, will wish these articles published Iii .book form, and that the book shall go into every library in the country. And they will, I am sure, feel grateful to you for having, after patient Investigation and great labor, brought together the facts connected with the defeat by the Kentucky Unionists of the attempt to ally our old State with the Southern Confederacy. No more valuable services were performed in the struggle to preserve the Union than were performed by the Union men of Kentucky. I make this statement without the slightest doubt of its accuracy. The country at lai|;e never has had an adequate conception of the sacrifices made and the work.done by the Union men of the Border Slave States.

  • (April-July 1861) “I Have Desired As Sincerely As Any
    Chapter Twenty-three “I Intend to Give Blows”: The Hundred Days (April-July 1861) “I have desired as sincerely as any man – I sometimes think more than any other man – that our present difficulties might be settled without the shedding of blood,” Lincoln remarked to a group of ersatz soldiers in late April. The “last hope of peace may not have passed away. But if I have to choose between the maintenance of the union of these states, and of the liberties of this nation, on the one hand, and the shedding of fraternal blood on the other, you need not be at a loss which course I shall take.”1 Little did he and most of his contemporaries realize how much fraternal blood would flow in order to save that Union and preserve those liberties; 620,000 soldiers and sailors (360,000 Union, 260,000 Confederate), including some of Lincoln’s closest friends, would die over the next four years. The total equaled the number of deaths in all other American wars combined, from the Revolution through the Korean War. One of those who failed to realize how bloody the war would become was Edwin M. Stanton, who on April 8 told John A. Dix: “I do not think peaceful relations will 1 This is a conflation of two versions of these remarks, one from the Perryville correspondence, 28 April, New York World, 29 April 1861, and the other from the New York Tribune, 1 May 1861, reproduced in Roy P.

  • Congress and Civil Rights: the Civil War Years, 1861-1865 Jeffery A
    Congress and Civil Rights: The Civil War Years, 1861-1865 Jeffery A. Jenkins Department of Politics University of Virginia [email protected] Justin Peck Department of Political Science San Francisco State University [email protected] January 9, 2017 The Civil War fought between 1861-1865 upended the country’s social, economic, and political status quo. During these years, congressional Republicans enacted civil rights reforms that had a dramatic impact on the future. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment, in particular, rightly stand as monumental achievements. Yet the intra-party division between committed abolitionists and more moderate free-soilers undermined the hopes of those seeking wholesale revolution. We explore the political contestation and policy outcomes of these pivotal years as the Republicans in Congress battled internally to formulate policies that could unite the party, preserve the country, and eradicate slavery. Prepared for presentation at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Southern Political Science Association, New Orleans, LA. Introduction The societal standing of African Americans – especially those in the slave states – would undergo a seismic change in the four years that spanned the American Civil War. When President Abraham Lincoln took office in early March 1861, a last ditch effort was underway to keep the Union together by enticing the seven slaves states of the Deep South that had seceded in the previous months to reconsider their decision. A proposed Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution amendment had been passed in the waning days of the prior (36th) Congress that would have protected slavery where it existed, and this amendment had the shared support of Republicans in Congress and the incoming president.
