Excerpt from Alexander H. Stephens
A life of Alexander H. Stephens suited to the needs of the modern reader is desirable not only because of the peculiar personality of one of the ablest Of the Southern statesmen of the Old regime, and because Of his association with great events as vice-president of the Southern Confederacy, but because he was one of the most consistent figures in the long struggle between the champions Of State sovereignty and the supporters of Federal supremacy. Though a fellow Georgian, I have found Stephens chiefly interesting as a battling representative of State sovereignty in its conflict with nationalism, and as one of the ablest of those who de fied destiny in the age-long, evolutionary process - to which the terms right and wrong are too indi vidual and personal to apply - finally producing a na tion out of a mere confederation. The extent of the author's study of this general subj ect may be seen from the bibliography at the end Of the volume, practically all available sources having been drawn on in order to illustrate the early weakness Of the Federal govern ment, the division of sovereignty under our dual sys tem, the conflict between the partisans Of State and nation, and the nullification and disunion sentiment so Often and so violently manifested in all sections of the country during the first seventy years after the adoption of the Constitution.
