Danger to the Republic Warns of Two Threats to Union
A historic letter argues that the republic faces two main dangers: sectional hostility between North and South and the absolute power attributed to President Andrew Johnson. It cites Rebel sentiments in the South, pardons for rebels, and questions Johnson's authority, warning of ongoing slavery and political peril amid Reconstruction debates. It notes local governance actions approving school district, railroad, and insurance company charters.
