Emancipation! Its Policy and Necessity as a war Measure for the Suppression of the Rebellion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781175908384)

In "Emancipation! Its Policy and Necessity as a War Measure for the Suppression of the Rebellion," Charles Sumner delivers a powerful argument for emancipation as a strategic imperative during the American Civil War. Published in 1862, this work encapsulates the moral and political urgency of ending slavery to secure the Union's victory.

Sumner, a leading abolitionist and senator, meticulously outlines the reasons why emancipation is not only just but essential to undermining the Confederacy's ability to wage war. He skillfully connects the ideals of liberty with the practical necessities of preserving the nation, advocating for a policy that would redefine the course of American history. This edition offers readers a vital perspective on the debates and decisions that shaped one of the most transformative periods in the United States.
