This article examines and questions the conventional view of the conference as a challenge to President Lincoln's efficacy as the nation's leader. Rather, the article suggests that Lincoln may have actually welcomed the conference and had his own designs for how it might bolster his political objectives.

  • Abraham Lincoln Papers
    Abraham Lincoln papers From John W. Forney to Abraham Lincoln, October 24, 1864 {Private.} Philadelphia, October 24th 1864. Dear Mr. Lincoln; Before starting upon my last campaign in this Presidential election, I take the liberty of asking you to read this letter — which will be presented to you by my son, John W. Forney, Jr., — on which I beg of you to ponder upon the views I will express to you. You were nominated and elected as a Republican, and you owe your seat to the division of the Democratic party in the two national conventions which took place at Charleston and at Baltimore. When Mr. Buchanan made a test of the Lecompton and the English bills, I foresaw that the slaveholders intended either to force one of their creatures upon the Democratic ticket for President, or to divide the Democratic party, and so to divide the Union; — but I had no idea that they would make your election a pretext for the separation of the Republic. Nevertheless I was extremely anxious to bring them to the test, and 1 hence I did my uttermost to strengthen Judge Douglas in his honest antagonism to those who were his personal foes, and to prepare him for the bold and manly stand which he assumed after your nomination by the Chicago convention, in 1860. His tour through the Southern states, in which he insisted that your inevitable constitutional election would be no cause for an assault upon the Union, awake[n]ed all my sensibilities, and I was not surprised at the close of it, when you were chosen to the place you now so honorably occupy, that you should have paid him the tribute which such unselfish patriotism deserved.

Mr. and Mrs. Philip Leppla of this place celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary at their pleasant home here last Sunday. Owing to the recent death of their youngest daughter, Mrs. Carl L.

This aged couple were united in marrirge at Canton, Ohio, November 6, 1854, by Rev. Herbruck, a Lutheran minister. Mrs. Leppla, whose maiden name was Louise Ittner, was 16 years of age and her hus­ band 26. Thirteen children were born to this union, three dying in infancy; the eldest son, Godfrey, died about three years ago, and the youngest daughter, Mrs. Gale, three weeks ago. The eight living children are Mrs. Wm. A. Gerber, Mrs. C. Kaemmerer and George Leppla of Columbus; William and Charles Leppla of Barber ton; Mrs. GK W. Weimer, Mrs. A. G. Schmidt and Philip Leppla, Jr., of this place. There are nineteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Mr. Leppla was born in Bavaria, Germany, May 13,1828, of Lutheran parent­ age, and came to America in 1849, locating at Winesburg, where he carried on the business of blacksmithing, which he followed until about ten years ago.

  • Civil War Dissent in the Cincinnati Area
    The recession of 1861-1862 hit Cincinnati hard as the river trade collapsed and Cincinnati businessmen felt the loss of Southern markets. Irish-Americans in the city developed strong anti-emancipation feelings and feared that the freed Negroes would release a flood of "cheap labor" on the North and the ex-slaves •would steal jobs from them. Sound and Fury: Civil War Dissent in the Cincinnati Area by Frank L. Klement 'T'he word "dissent" bears a negative connotation. The Oxford dictionary defines it as "difference of opinion or sentiment."1 Simply, a dissenter is one who disagrees with majority views and with the turn of events. Dissenters of Civil War days did not agree with majority opinion or prevailing views, and they opposed the course of events of the 1861-1865 era. The Civil War was a complex, four-year event with widespread effects and discernible facets. Historians, looking back at the Civil War a hundred years later, discern at least four separate if related aspects: (1) The use of armed might or coercion as a means to save the Union; (2) The centralization of power in Washington as the federal union evolved into a strong national gov- ernment; (3) A social revolution, featuring the emancipation of slaves and the extension of rights to the black man; (4) The forces of industrialism gaining control of the government, bringing an end to the alliance of the agricultural South and the West. Dissenters of Civil War days, then, were citizens who opposed one or all four aspects of the war—they may have favored compromise rather than force to restore the Union; they may have feared that the central government was evolving into a despotism; they may have been racists opposing emancipation; or they may have been Western sectionalists opposing domination of the gov- ernment by the lords of the looms and the masters of capital.
