Excerpt from Two Speeches of Rev. Robert J. Breckinridge, D. D., LL. D, on the State of the Country: I. At the Opera House, Cincinnati, on Tuesday Evening, May 20, 1862, by Invitation of Many Leading Citizens of That City; II. During a Debate in the Presbyterian General Assembly, at Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday, May 22, 1862 Is it not more than justice, and is it not overwhelmingly our duty - and will not the shades of our ancestors cry to us to-day will not posterity tax our memory if we do not exert ourselves to preserve the Union which our glorious ancestors handed to us, and in the way that it may run on as it has run for the last cen tury in its glorious career? And we trust it will go on prosper ing and to prosper. [cheers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Second Defence of Robert J. Breckinridge: Against the Calumnies of Robert Wickliffe, Being a Reply to His Printed Speech of November 9, 1840 No, sir, you are utterly deluded, or else, in your malice, talk at random. It has been the aim of my life, to be always ready to settle with every body, in all respects. No rule of conduct has been more rigidly adhered to by me; and I think by this time, you must yourself be convinced, that it had been well if you also had adopted for your government, a principle which would have requit ed you to be just, truthful, moderate and honest; and, therefore, constantly prepared, without fear, and as to all good men without reproach, to answer for all your conduct. But if you still doubt, I submit to you the following testimonials. They are from the only children of my father, besides myself, who survived at the time they were given and since their date, one of them has passed to his enduring reward above, affixing the seal of death to his ample vindication Of me, and just rebuke of you. If any one should know the truth on the general subject in regard to which they speak, they should. The public know these men and when they know that they speak in regard to matters about which you have attempted, for ten years, publicly and privately, to poison their minds; the matter must be considered as put to rest. If I had nothing to offer in my defence, but these two statements, I should consider myself beyond the reach of your malice.

Many accounts of the secession crisis overlook the sharp political conflict that took place in the Border South states of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri. Michael D. Robinson expands the scope of this crisis to show how the fate of the Border South, and with it the Union, desperately hung in the balance during the fateful months surrounding the clash at Fort Sumter. During this period, Border South politicians revealed the region's deep commitment to slavery, disputed whether or not to leave the Union, and schemed to win enough support to carry the day. Although these border states contained fewer enslaved people than the eleven states that seceded, white border Southerners chose to remain in the Union because they felt the decision best protected their peculiar institution. Robinson reveals anew how the choice for union was fraught with anguish and uncertainty, dividing families and producing years of bitter internecine violence. Letters, diaries, newspapers, and quantitative evidence illuminate how, in the absence of a compromise settlement, proslavery Unionists managed to defeat secession in the Border South.
