The War Aims and Tax Notes From Fayette Springs July 1864
A lengthy excerpt outlines benefits of the Civil War including ending slavery, unifying currency, and strengthening the Union. It argues for a strong national government, a protective tariff, and a powerful navy to deter foreign wars, with references to Lincoln era policies and public finance measures. The piece also covers July 4 remarks by A. Stewart and a June 1864 treasury instruction on special income tax assessment and enforcement.
