Speech of Hon. Isaac N. Arnold, of Illinois: Delivered in the House of Representatives, March 19, 1864 (Classic Reprint) by Isaac N Arnold (Paperback / softback, 2016)
Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Isaac N. Arld, of Illiis: Delivered in the House of Representatives, March 19, 1864 The employment of negro soldiers needs today vindication. All sanction and approve it, and they themselves are gallantly fighting their way to the favor of the country. The amnesty proclamation, although assailed by essayists and politicians, is working out practically its own vindication. Hundreds of rebel soldiers are daily bringing in, and laying down their arms. In the west it is dissolving the rebel armies. Under' its in uence, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Arkansas, will soon return as free States. The day that sees these States again in the Union as free, loyal States, will see the beginning of the end of this rebellion. Under the in uence of this proclamation, with such changes as experience may suggest, or as Congress may establish, or sanction, we may hope to see the rebel territory all restored, and our great country redeemed from the curse of slavery.
