New National Party and the Cincinnati Convention Debate
A letter from Jesse W. Fern endorses reform tied to the Cincinnati convention and criticizes wartime and postwar policy. Leonard Swett’s views are discussed, urging unity for liberty and opposing lasting southern disenfranchisement while warning against carpetbagger influence and federal overreach. The piece argues for amnesty and reconciliation, questioning whether the north truly opposed slavery or the masters.
