Townsend states that the choice for Carolinians is "manly RESISTANCE" vs. "SUBMISSION." Because Lincoln, Seward, and other "Black Republicans" intend the total abolition of slavery, he argues: "Is it the policy of the south to wait for that to take place, or to anticipate it by putting herself beyond the influence of their policy or the operations of their laws? . . . 'By taking their destinies under their own control, and preparing, without delay, to organize for themselves a separate and independent confederacy.'" Secession must follow the defeat of the Southern Democratic ticket headed by Breckinridge of Kentucky.
With 20th century ownership plates on cover. Covers soiled; first few pages chipped and folded at edges; scattered foxing; o/w very nice.
