Self Made Man in Raleigh Standard War of Words
A Raleigh Standard excerpt attacks Mr. Holden as a self made man and criticizes his political shifts during the 1860 Democratic split. It contrasts Holden with Stephen A. Douglas, notes Holden’s alliances with Breckinridge and Lane, and accuses him of abandoning loyal supporters and the regular nominee to join “cotton lords” in a secessionist stance. The piece asks readers to view Holden as a cautionary mirror of self promotion in politics.
