Author Description

Excerpt from The Philosophy of the American Rebellion I shall not dispute with Mr. Stephens his grand truth that Our new. Government is based upon exactly the opposite idea to that which forms the basis of the United States Gov ernment. I must say, however, I do not think the new sh'air any improvement; and the argu ments advanced in support of it are not such as were advanced by our forefathers. Perhaps, as he says. They were in error - they were funda mentally wrong, but I have still so greats veneration for the names of Washington, Jed'er son, Franklin, and their glorious compeers, that my mind is unwilling to substitute in their pla ees, Yancey and Keitt and Stephens and Davis.
