Constitutional Ethics Of Secession And War Is Hell

Constitutional Ethics Of Secession And War Is Hell: Two Speeches of Charles Francis Adams is a book that features two speeches delivered by Charles Francis Adams, an American diplomat and politician, during the American Civil War. The first speech, delivered in 1861, focuses on the issue of secession and the constitutional ethics surrounding it. Adams argues that secession is unconstitutional and that the Union must be preserved at all costs. The second speech, delivered in 1865, reflects on the horrors of war and the toll it takes on both the soldiers and the country. Adams emphasizes the need for reconciliation and unity in the aftermath of the war. The book provides insight into the political and ethical debates of the time and sheds light on the thoughts and beliefs of one of America's prominent figures during the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
