Abstract

The Admission of Tennessee
July 26, 1866 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on restoration of Tennessee. The terms of restoration are not as perfect as people hoped they might be, but such terms having been offered, it would not be honorable to refuse admittance to any State which has complied with them in good faith. That restoration has been, in effect, offered to any State which would ratify the recent constitutional amendment, is a fact that cannot be doubted. The report of the committee, the votes of Congress on incidental questions, the speeches of members, the universal understanding of the people, all combine to hold the Government to this obligation.
