Memoir of John M. Clayton (Classic Reprint) by Joseph P. Comegys Pdf

Excerpt from Memoir of John M. Clayton Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Historical Society of Delaware: I should state, before I commence my reading of this memoir, that I have exhibited the subject of it in a most favorable light. A memoir should do nothing less; especially when prepared, as this has been, at the instance of a Society concerned in presenting the distinguished men of the State, and the features of her history, in the best view for public admiration. With this in my mind, and yet not forgetting the duty I owed to truth, I have delineated the character and achievements of John M. Clayton as they appeared to me, his cotemporary and admirer; though not insensible, however, to knowledge of infirmities of nature common to most of us.

Civil War Delaware by Michael Morgan Pdf

In the years preceding the Civil War, Delaware was essentially divided--as a slave state, it had many ties to the South, but as the first state to ratify the federal Constitution, it was fiercely loyal to the Union. With the outbreak of war, the First State rallied to Lincoln's call and sent proportionally more troops to fight for the Union than any free state. Yet even as the renowned Du Pont mills provided half of the Union gunpowder, Southern sympathizers transported war materiel to the Confederacy via the Nanticoke River. Author Michael Morgan deftly navigates this complex history. From Wilmington abolitionist Thomas Garrett, who helped 2,700 fugitive slaves flee north, to the prison camp at Fort Delaware that held thousands of captured Confederates and political prisoners, Morgan reveals the remarkable stories of the heroes and scoundrels of Civil War Delaware.

A Wicked War by Amy S. Greenberg Pdf

The definitive history of the often forgotten U.S.-Mexican War paints an intimate portrait of the major players and their world—from Indian fights and Manifest Destiny, to secret military maneuvers, gunshot wounds, and political spin. “If one can read only a single book about the Mexican-American War, this is the one to read.” —The New York Review of Books Often overlooked, the U.S.-Mexican War featured false starts, atrocities, and daring back-channel negotiations as it divided the nation, paved the way for the Civil War a generation later, and launched the career of Abraham Lincoln. Amy S. Greenberg’s skilled storytelling and rigorous scholarship bring this American war for empire to life with memorable characters, plotlines, and legacies. Along the way it captures a young Lincoln mismatching his clothes, the lasting influence of the Founding Fathers, the birth of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and America’s first national antiwar movement. A key chapter in the creation of the United States, it is the story of a burgeoning nation and an unforgettable conflict that has shaped American history.

Excerpt from Speech of John M. Clayton of Delaware, Upon the Oregon Question: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, February 12, 1846 The two propositions differ also in another and a very important respect. The latter holds out, if not expressly, at least by the clearest implication, that all negotiations between the United States and Great Britain ought' not now to be held as finally closed, and amounts to a recommendation that the Executive shall continue the existing negotiations with a view to the peaceable adjustment of the conflicting claims of the two Governments. Between the two, I can have no hesitation m saying that I prefer that offered by the honorable Senator from Kentucky. The other proposes in effect that notice shall be given immediately, and leaves the Presi dent no discretion 111 the case. It assumes that Congress are so thoroughly.

Speech of Hon. John M. Clayton, of Delaware, on the Veto Message of the President, on the Bill for the Benefit of the Indigent Insane by John Middleton Clayton Pdf

Excerpt from Speech of Hon. John M. Clayton, of Delaware, on the Veto Message of the President, on the Bill for the Benefit of the Indigent Insane: In the Senate of the United States, June 15, 1854 It is quite clear than that the exclusive applica tion of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, to expenses of the Federal Government, if it should cause, as the Senator says, the necessary diminution of taxation, by which he means duties on imports, may produce very une ual efl'ects upon t e States of this Union, and e injuries thus inflicted upon some may be destructive to them while it ma be by no means so severely felt by others. It as been said that if the pro ceeds of the sales of the public lands had been properly husbanded, and they were all new care fully applied to the ordinary expenses of the Gov ernment, if the wasteful system of donations had never been introduced, and the funds had been economically protected and ap lied, they would now pay the ex enses of a tru y economical ad ministration of t e Government without resorting to the customs. Lbe this as it may, it will at least be admitted by all, 'they would materially reduce the amount necessary to be collected for the ordinary ex enses of Government, so that if duties on im po ts were laid onl for revenue, the tarid' would be so much loweredt at no essential rotection could be derived from it on an arti e of American growth or manufacture. Ith'five per cent. Duties assessed on a fore' n valuation, what would be come at once.of t a coal and iron interest of Penns lvania, or the sugar of Louisiana, or the manu ctures of the northern and middle States generally? Any man can thus see the utter fal acy of the argument of the honorable Senator when he assumes it as a postulate not to be denied him, that, by applying the avails of the public lands exclusively o the expenses of Government.
