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.
