About this eBook

Author Logan, John Alexander, 1826-1886
Title The Great Conspiracy, Volume 3
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "The Great Conspiracy, Volume 3" by John Alexander Logan is a historical account likely written during the late 19th century. This volume delves into the factors surrounding the secession of Southern states from the Union, examining the motives and actions of key figures involved in this turbulent period in American history. At the start of the narrative, the author outlines the long-standing discontent among Southern states regarding their relationship with the Federal Government. He highlights that even at the founding of the Republic, certain individuals sought avenues such as nullification and secession to express their grievances, particularly focusing on issues like tariffs and slavery. The opening details various testimonies and historical quotations that showcase the opposition to the Union, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of how these factors contributed to the eventual Civil War. Logan's method of blending historical documents and personal accounts creates a rich tapestry illustrating the motivations behind secession, including an emphasis on the South's perceived injustices and longing for independence.
