1864 Abolition Pamphlet Isaac Arnold, Destroying Slavery In Rebel States
1864 ABOLITION PAMPHLET – Isaac N. Arnold Speech – Destroying Slavery in Rebel States – Civil War
Original Civil War pamphlet titled:
"The Power, Duty, and Necessity of Destroying Slavery in the Rebel States"
containing the historic speech of Hon. Isaac N. Arnold of Illinois, delivered before the United States House of Representatives on January 6, 1864.
Arnold was one of Abraham Lincoln's closest congressional supporters and among the most influential advocates of emancipation during the Civil War. In this powerful wartime address he argues that slavery was the root cause of the rebellion and that permanent Union victory required its complete destruction.
The speech discusses Lincoln's famous "House Divided" doctrine, the progress of emancipation, the moral and political consequences of slavery, and the necessity of abolition as a war measure and national policy.
Published during the final year of the Civil War and just before congressional approval of the Thirteenth Amendment, this pamphlet represents an important primary-source document from the struggle to end slavery in the United States.
