Vote on Tuesday and the Nation's Perilful War
John F Potter and George H Foster urge voters to decide whether to prosecute the war to preserve the Union or retreat. They argue the war tests republican governance and frame the issue as defense of liberty against southern oligarchy. They cite Brownlow and Bancroft to support the argument that secession was planned, not caused by Lincoln's election.
