Soft cover. Condition: Good. Original publisher's beige paper pamphlet. Text printed in black ink. No date, circa 1860. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2." Thirty-six pages, complete. Pages are intact overall but have dampstains along bottom edges and at head of spine, some mold damage from said dampstains on the first few pages in front, light to moderate darkening, slight chipping limited to corners and edges, and a few wrinkles and creases. A Good copy. This is a tract containing Confederate propaganda promoting the Confederacy and the supposed right of Confederate states to secede from the Union. Page 3-24 contain William D. Porter's tract. Porter vocally and vehemently speaks against the Republican Party, federal government, and abolitionists. He names several contemporary historical figures including Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Douglas, and Gerrit Smith. Porter's tract is generally a rallying cry for the Southern states to secede. Pages 25-29 contain a printed version of a letter by James Kirke Paulding (1778-1860), the 11th United States Secretary of the Navy, in which he defends Southern slaveholding states and their rights. Paulding supported the institution of slavery and viewed abolitionists as adversaries to the Union. Pages 30-36 contain a manifesto declaring the Southern states' right to secede.
