This volume, "Selections From the Speeches and Writings of Hon. Thomas L. Clingman, of North Carolina," offers a valuable glimpse into the political thought and career of a prominent figure in the antebellum and Civil War South. Thomas Lanier Clingman (1812-1897) was a U.S. Senator and Congressman who staunchly defended Southern interests. His speeches and writings cover a range of topics, including states' rights, slavery, and the growing sectional tensions that ultimately led to the Civil War.

This collection provides insight into the mindset of Southern politicians during a pivotal period in American history. Clingman's perspective is essential for understanding the complex factors that contributed to the conflict and its aftermath. This volume will be of interest to historians, scholars, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Civil War era.
