Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The True Story of the Barons of the South: Or the Rationale of the American Conflict
Oil and water cannot be made to unite, unless you first destroy their distinctive qualities, that is, make them something else than oil and water. Light and darkness cannot come together in the same enclosure, no, not on the same hemisphere, without modifying each other. Much less can liberty and slavery abide at peace in the same country, nor, indeed, on the same continent. They are, like good and evil, Christ and Belial, nat ural, eternal antagonists, utterly irreconcilable, mutually destructive. The founders of our Republic reluctantly consented that the Impracticable experiment should be attempted. And the disastrous consequences of that attempt have come upon this generation.
