About This Item
[Philadelphia?, 1880. 8pp. Disbound, caption title as issued. Upper blank margin slightly shaves a few page numbers [no text affected]. Good+.
Forney says that Hancock is the man to unite the country, after the brutal Civil War and the divisive Reconstruction. "No quick reconstruction of this Union was possible after so dislocating a destruction. We could not attain peace by ordinary legislation. We could not attain it under the policy of Andrew Johnson. We could not attain it under the carpet-bag governments. We could not attain it under a mere Republican administration." Hancock is the man who can do it. "And the man that triumphed in war comes to triumph in peace. The hero of Gettysburg brings the South with him, not as his prisoners, but as his friends."
Republicans seek advantage by continuing to wave the Bloody Shirt. "The only men that remain obstinate and unchanged are the Republican office-holders and the Republican office-seekers. They are unforgiving because they are paid to be unforgiving."
OCLC 44787497 [1- NYPL] as of March 2023.
