Synopsis
Excerpt from Speech of Hon.: James R. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, on the Lincoln-Johnson Policy of Restoration
Mr. Doolittle. I ask that the. Resolu tion be read at the desk. The Secretary read it, as follows: Whereas the people of Virginia, of North Carolina, of South Carolina, of Georgia, of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Tennes see have heretofore declared their independence of the Government of the United States, have usurped authority denied to every State by the supreme law of the land, have abjured duties imposed upon every State by the same law, and have waged war against the United States, whereby the political functions for merly granted to those people have been suspended; and whereas such functions cannot yet be restored to those people with safety to themselves or to the na tion: and whereas military tribunals are not suited to the exercise of civil authority: Therefore, Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Represent atives in Congress assembled, That local governments ought to be provisionally organized forthwith for the people in each of the districts named in the preamble hereto.
Mr. Doolittle. Mr. President, how many States constitute that great Republic which the world calls the United States of America? The President and those who think with him say thirty-six. The Senator from Massachusetts [min sumner] and my colleague say twenty five. Where are the eleven? Where is Vir ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, and Texas These eleven great States are larger, by thousands of square miles, than England, France, Spain, Portugal.

The author presents a detailed analysis of the laws, speeches, and proclamations issued during this period, highlighting the complexities and challenges of reconstructing a nation after a devastating civil war.
