John A. Marshall said:No more flagrant outrage upon the rights of citizens was perpetrated during the war, than the arrests made at Maysville, Kentucky, on the 2d of October, 1861, by General William Nelson. ... On the morning of the 2d of October, 1861, two hundred armed soldiers, from the camp, under General Nelson's orders, were marched into the city, and stationed at the market-house. Squads were sent out, and the following gentlemen, whose names had been selected by the political coterie who controlled General Nelson, were suddenly seized and placed in custody of the armed force at the market-house: the Hon. Richard H. Stanton, James H. Hall, Washington B. Tottle, Benjamin F. Thomas, Wm. Hunt, Isaac Nelson, George Forrester, and William T. Costoe. ... The gentlemen arrested at Maysville had committed no offence, done no act, which authorized their arrest, or in any manner compromitted themselves as loyal citizens. They were never apprised of any charges made against them. They were arrested, exiled from the State, and imprisoned, for no other reason than being Democrats. ... The prisoners were hurried off to Camp Chase, where they were confined, with two hundred others, in a plank enclosure of about one hundred and fifty feet square, during the whole of the month of October. When the prisoners were thrust into this pen, no particular place was assigned them. They were compelled to depend upon the charity of those occupying the place before their arrival, for a spot upon which to rest themselves. Sixteen men were huddled together in each of the little plank shanties within the enclosure, and required to eat and sleep, crammed together, like so many hogs in a railroad car. This the Maysville prisoners were compelled to endure for a month. The Andersonville prison, or any other in the Confederacy, could not have been worse in its accommodations than Camp Chase, during the month of October, 1861. ... They were kept in Fort Lafayette (NY) for two months, and then discharged, without having been allowed a trial or even informed of any charges which existed against them.

Came across this today. There seemed to be a trend line running through Appalachia.My part of the state voted against secession the first go-around, until the voters were replaced...

One low-life PhD from Auburn wrote in a book that James Eason of north Georgia, during the voting for the Georgia Convention, had been "intimidated into not voting," thus showing that Unionists voter turnout had been suppressed by violence.Mr. President--I do not object, so much to the resolutions themselves, as to the reasons assigned by the gentleman, [Mr. Whatley,] for their introduction. It is proclaimed that this is intended as a test; the test as to submission! The intimation is ungenerous. It is inconsistent with the desires of harmony and conciliation that have been openly expressed here by all parties. It is an injudicious beginning of our deliberations. It is true, that it has been ascertained by the elections which have just been had here, that we are a minority. I am of that minority; but I do not associate with submissionists! There is not one in our company. We scorn the prospective Black Republican rule as much as the gentleman from Calhoun, [Mr. Whatley,] or any of his friends.
Okay. Ignoring the fact that U.S. history prior to the Civil War was a long series of compromises to slaveholders (Missouri Compromise, Compromise of 1850, Kansas-Nebraska Act, 3/5th Compromise, etc.), this was the Confederacy's opening bid. How do you compromise with this, Kelly?John Kelly said:The lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War, and men and women of good faith on both sides made their stand where their conscience had them make their stand.
Alexander H. Stephens said:Our new government is founded upon exactly this idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.
Jefferson Davis said:The condition of slavery with us is, in a word, Mr. President, nothing but the form of civil government instituted for a class of people not fit to govern themselves. It is exactly what in every State exists in some form or other. It is just that kind of control which is extended in every northern State over its convicts, its lunatics, its minors, its apprentices. It is but a form of civil government for those who by their nature are not fit to govern themselves. We recognize the fact of the inferiority stamped upon that race of men by the Creator, and from the cradle to the grave, our Government, as a civil institution, marks that inferiority.
