The Crisis of the Confederacy History (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Crisis of the Confederacy History
The great war which has clouded the dawn of the twentieth century serves to remind the nations of the world that inter national life, like all life, is a struggle to which there is no truce, and that it may at any moment take the form of an appeal to arms. The study of history not only gives the best education to the men whose business it will be to strike for their country, but it also helps every elector in a demo cratic state to understand the serious nature of war, the conditions essential to waging it successfully, and the best means of avoiding it.
It is with the hope of increasing, if ever so little, the interest in military history which recent great events have awakened, and of adding a concise account of the most critical phase of the great Civil War to the literature Which already exists, that the author has ventured to offer his book to the public. Though far from professing to be a complete history of the downfall of the military power of the Southern States, it aims at placing before the reader in manageable form an account of the principal events which brought it about.
