About this Item

32pp. Disbound, tide mark at upper margins [lightly intruding into text but without obscuring it]. Good+. This early Confederate imprint, by the author of 'The Hireling and the Slave,' rebuts Professor Hodge's claim that the Union is of "incalculable worth," and "indissoluble and perpetual." In fact, says Grayson, the Federal Government "is ready to make war" on the Southern States . The North wage war on the social condition of the Southern States. They vilify Southern manners and morals. They denounce the principles and practice of the South, in every possible form . They revile the Southern people as barbarians and miscreants." Grayson makes the case, on legal and moral grounds, for the South's right of revolution and secession. Parrish & Willingham 5439. III Turnbull 336.
