Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book considers the American Civil War and presents a rare insight, using extracts from speeches and writings of the period, from both Northern and Southern perspectives. The author proposes amendments to the US Constitution, that would provide permanent guarantees to protect states' rights. He suggests that these would strengthen rather than damage the Union. The author also calls for an end to political rhetoric and interference, as well as an armistice, to allow for calm consideration and acceptance of the proposed guarantees. The author believes that if the warring parties would act in accordance with the Constitution, and in the spirit of national unity, then the Union can be saved, and a new era of peace and prosperity can begin. The book is an important contribution to the historical record, and provides a valuable perspective on the events leading up to the Civil War.
