trolable minority The country had through four
years Of terrible and exhansting to keep eleven
States from going out Of the Union and nowit had
gone through four months and threatened With fof
years OF Congressional and political war TO drive these
eleven States out and prevent restoration OF the Mon
There could be such thing reconstrucng the Union
unless II had been broken up and dissolved. T basis
and central idea therefore OF the Northern revdution
AIRY movement called reconstruction was disunbn II
rested the assumption that the Union bad ben dis
solved and had other foundation support he war
wagd by the Southern insurgents 10 take tho Saes out
OF the Union failure; the war on the part OF the
government 10 keep them In was success. To say,
therefore, that the eleven seeded States were ou OF the
Union 20 say that the Of the federal overn
naent failure, and that the failure OF the Sthern
rebellion success. This important disco vey had
been made by the superior wisdom OF the NGthern
rebels. IL waswholly unknown In the South u The
eleven States out OF the Union then Jefar
son Davis had not been guilty OF treason, for
he owed ii no allegiance but owed lit 10
the Confederate government and his long Imprisonment
On act Of cruelty If that So then the VT
urged not to keep the eleven states in the Unid--or
they were already out-but was war of mere conquest
and subjugation and who would justify Tor such cause
the millions of treasure expended and the rivers blood
sned In carrying that war; The theory Of h' recon
struction party meant dsun.on nd revolution, an
meant nothing else He called upon the people unite
with the great democratic hosts OF the North aid rally
around and support the President his noble sand Tor
the liberties OF the people Thus the No rbelion
would be crushed and subducd the blood icrage
OF constitutional liberty recovered and the coiitl,on
restored and preserved
