Repression of dissent in the pre-Civil War South is an issue that
is rarely discussed. Although it is known that Southerners and
their government officials did not generally tolerate criticism of
the prevailing concepts of slavery and states' rights, we have less
reliable information as to the extent and methods of censorship.
Furthermore, in order to obtain a full understanding of the culture
that led to the Civil War, we need to challenge many facts of
dubious authenticity, especially in respect to the moral and
ethical codes of the supposedly genteel South. TUPELO, by John Hill
Aughey, is a brilliant first person, totally truthful account, of a
man imprisoned and condemned to execution by the brutal officials
of the South for his outspoken anti-Secession and pro-Union
beliefs. He makes a truly miraculous escape, to report the details
of his ordeal in what was to become a highly praised and popular
autobiography. This book, out of print for more than 100 years,
will surely enlighten everyone about the terrifying dangers of
complacency and ambivalence in the face of mob fanaticism. The
process of rebellion is examined, how it grows, manifests itself,
and finally flares up into anarchy and madness.
