The book ""Northern Opinion Of Approaching Secession: October, 1859 To November, 1860"" was written by Lawrence Tyndale Lowrey and published in 1918. The book provides a detailed account of the opinions and attitudes of Northern Americans towards the issue of secession in the months leading up to the American Civil War. Lowrey's work is based on a thorough analysis of contemporary newspapers, political speeches, and other primary sources.The book begins with an overview of the political climate in the North in the fall of 1859, when John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry sparked widespread debate about the future of slavery in America. Lowrey then traces the evolution of Northern opinion over the next year, as the secession crisis deepened and tensions between North and South escalated.Throughout the book, Lowrey examines the various arguments put forward by Northern politicians, journalists, and ordinary citizens regarding the legality and morality of secession. He also explores the role of key figures such as Abraham Lincoln, William Seward, and Horace Greeley in shaping public opinion.Overall, ""Northern Opinion Of Approaching Secession"" provides a fascinating glimpse into the complex and often conflicting attitudes of Northern Americans during a pivotal moment in American history. By shedding light on the diverse opinions and perspectives that existed within the North, Lowrey's work offers valuable insights into the political, social, and cultural dynamics that led to the outbreak of the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
