Author: Voorhees, Daniel W.
Title: Speech of D.W. Voorhees, of Indiana, Delivered in the House of Representatives, March 9. 1864
Description: Washington, Constitutional Union Office, Printer, 1864. Pamphlet. Pamphlet, lacking any wrappers issued. Disbound from a larger work. 20 pp. Double columned text. A speech by Copperhead Democrat Daniel Voorhees, drawing extensively on historical examples of governments and countries in relation to governance and liberty, all in an effort to speak out against the Civil War. Voorhees appears to be against it for fiscal reasons, and suggests the North was not receptive to Southern attempts at negotiations for peace. He also takes the side of the South in asserting that the United States will lose important revenue due to emancipation, being the "costliest feature of this war." Voorhees alleges the loss of "labor" will cut tax revenue as the South will not be able to produce its goods without access to the cheap labor of enslaved people, and that African-Americans will be left to fend for themselves. GOOD condition. Moderate toning, minor wrinkling and curling. Good .
