It was 1868, the first presidential election year after the end of the Civil War, and the Republican Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was being opposed by the Democrat Horatio Seymour for the presidency. This Speech of Hon. Edwards Pierrepont, documented in 20 pages of text, presents his arguments in favor of Grant. He does this by adopting the approach that Grant, as the General who defeated the South's Gen. Lee to end the war, was the God of Battles who ended the bloody fight, and that Grant was the best man to be the Prince of Peace, and achieve a far more glorious victory. The speech then proceeds to go through all the actions, arguments, positions and beliefs proposed by the defeated South to win the Peace, including seizure of the Government, restoration of slavery, and, by using diplomatic arts, win what was lost by the war, i.e. restore the Lost Cause!
The speech is contained in a booklet that measures approximately 5.5 inches wide by 9 inches tall. The booklet, which originally had 22 pages, is without… Leer más
