Abstract

The Work before Congress
December 7, 1865 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses issues related to the U.S. government. It is universally expected that the present Congress will virtually settle both the time and the terms on which the States lately in rebellion may fully resume their dissevered relations with the national government. Their claim to participate as co-equal partners in that government having been totally forfeited by their own act of war, their re-admission to their old rights and privileges must depend upon such conditions as the government itself shall impose. These conditions have not been and cannot be determined by the executive branch of the government alone.
