Excerpt from The League for the Union: Speeches of the Hon. George Bancroft, and James Milliken, Esq.But yet, under all these circumstances, so in fatuated was slavery, that it still passionately pur sued its purpose, and for the sake of founding a Confederacy on a basis on which no enduring government can rest, aimed a blow that was in tended to be fatal to the country and to the liberty of man. The war was, under every aspect, forced upon the northern States; it was a war from which they could not escape. Had they proved cravens, they would have stood before the Powers of the earth of their own day, and before all succeeding generations, as men who betrayed their country, and were recreant to freedom itself.

Politics & Government

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
