Synopsis
Excerpt from Buchanan's Administration on the Eve of the Rebellion: A Paper Read Before the Cliosophic Society, Lancaster, Pa;, January 24, 1908
We have so far progressed with the development and discussion of the topic for the present Clio season as to easily recognize and fully appreciate its comprehensive character. A half century of history, during a period so pregnant with great events, testing the very unity of our nation and the endurance of its institutions, under changes of the most revolutionary character, has been made the subject of many thousands of volumes of historical narration and philosophic discussion. In contemplating even the outside of them, one is at some loss to determine whether the telescopic or the microscopic system of investigation is the more satisfactory treatment for the purposes of this Society's entertainment - not to say its instruction - whether the spectacular contemplation of the panorama or the perhaps more tedious study of the miniature is nearer to your tastes and more conformable to your temper.
Howbeit no considerable figure in the period of political stress and storm which marked the agitation of the slavery issue and collateral questions can be fairly treated, as to the events of his life, the relation to his times and contemporaries, his place in the final judgment of history and in the last analysis of patriotic character and motive, within the limits of a sixty-minute paper.

Buchanan's Administration on the Eve of the Rebellion (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a compelling and insightful reassessment of a pivotal figure in American history. The author challenges the widely held view of James Buchananââ â¢s presidency as a period of weakness and inaction leading to the Civil War. Instead, the book argues that Buchanan was a complex and principled leader navigating a deeply divided nation on the brink of disaster. The author examines Buchananââ â¢s actions, his political strategies, and his contemporariesââ ⢠perspectives, weaving together a nuanced understanding of this presidentââ â¢s role in the tumultuous era leading up to the conflict. The author scrutinizes the accusations of Buchananââ â¢s weakness and disloyalty, revealing the complex political landscape of the time and exposing the inaccuracies of historical narratives that often paint Buchanan in a negative light. Through a detailed examination of Buchananââ â¢s policies, the author reveals a president who acted in accordance with both public opinion and his own convictions, all while trying to hold together a crumbling union. The book ultimately offers a compelling argument for a reevaluation of President Buchananââ â¢s legacy, demonstrating that he was not a passive observer but an active participant in the events that led to the Civil War, seeking to maintain a fragile peace in the face of a nation divided on the issue of slavery. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
