This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
During the early years of the Civil War someone tauntingly asked
Mr. Charles Francis Adams, the United States Minister to England,
what he thought of the brilliant victories which the confederate
armies were then gaining in the field. "I think they have been won
by my fellow countrymen," was the quiet answer. Almost half a
century has passed since that reproof was uttered, but its full
force is only just beginning to be understood. For nearly fifty
years the story of the Civil War has been twisted to suit local
pride or prejudice in various parts of the Union, with the result
that much which passes for American history is not history at all,
and whatever else it may be, it is certainly not American.
Assuredly, the day has now arrived when such historical
"make-believes" should be discountenanced, both in the North and in
the South. Americans of the present and the coming generations are
entitled to take a common pride in whatever lent nobility to the
fraternal strife of the sixties, and to gather equal inspiration
from every achievement that reflected credit on American manhood
during those years when the existence of the Union was at stake.
Until this is rendered possible by the elimination of error and
falsehood, the sacrifices of the Civil War will, to a large extent,
have been endured in vain.
