national unity against q great re-
bellIon as home and threatened In
reference from abroad, through
four years Of the most colossal war
fare recorded In history.

rebellion was suppressed, an indie
stFuetable union Of states peFpetu-
ated aud the supremacy OF the I'm
ion over the states composing 10 for
ever established. Through its ef-
forts slavery went down In the ruins
Of the Southern Confederacy. A
slave race was emaneiPated and
guaranteed all the rights OF Ameri-
can citizenship. IL embodied the
political truths enumerated In the
Declaration Of Indereudenee In con-
stiIutiOnal provisions and congress
slOnal enactmenIs. IL has extended
