Speech by Salmon P. Chase in Cincinnati on Lincoln and Union
Salmon P. Chase argues for the re election of Lincoln and Johnson. He asserts the war originated with Southern disunionists and defends emancipation as essential to victory. He recalls battles from Forts to Richmond, praises Grant Sheridan and Farragut, and denounces McClellan's peace platform while reaffirming Union supremacy and federal authority over slavery.
