Synopsis

This book collects the speeches, arguments, and letters of Clement L. Vallandigham, a prominent Democratic politician and outspoken critic of the Civil War. Active in Ohio politics before the war, Vallandigham became a staunch advocate for states' rights, opposing the coercion of the South and calling instead for a peaceful resolution to the sectional crisis. After the outbreak of war, he was arrested and tried for treason, but was ultimately released and exiled to Canada. Vallandigham's writings offer a unique and valuable perspective on the conflict, providing insights into the complex political and social forces that shaped the Civil War era.
