This article offers a defense of Southern secession and blames the Lincoln and the North for starting the war: "We have asked but our rights. We simply desired to be left alone, to conduct our own government free from abolition meddlesomeness. History will yet record the fact that the South was compelled to fight for the privilege of living alone and minding its own business. It will be a record honorable to the South, a disgrace to the North. The historian can briefly say, and with entire truth, that a portion of the United States wronged another portion, until those wrongs became unendurable, and then fought the people of the injured section for plunder and conquest, and in failing ruined themselves and the section." |
