Excerpt from History of the Rebellion: Its Authors and Causes

In the long struggle which preceded actual secession, the writer participated. It was his fortune to enunciate the policy of separating the people of the free States and the federal power from the support of slavery, leaving that institution entirely with the States, where it had been left by the patriots who framed the charter of our Union. Messrs. Adams, Slade, and Gates, then members of Congress, sustained the policy; others subsequently united with us; we were Opposed not by reason, or argument, or justice, but by personal detraction, mis representation, insult, threats of violence, and denunciation.
