""Report On The Condition Of The South"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Carl Schurz. It was first published in 1865, just after the end of the American Civil War. The book is a comprehensive report on the conditions of the Southern states after the war, including the devastation of the economy, the social and political changes, and the treatment of freed slaves. Schurz, a German-American statesman and journalist, was appointed by President Andrew Johnson to tour the Southern states and report on their condition. He traveled extensively throughout the region, interviewing people from all walks of life and observing the aftermath of the war. The book provides a detailed analysis of the challenges facing the South, including the destruction of infrastructure, the loss of labor, and the breakdown of social structures. Schurz also discusses the political situation, including the role of the federal government in Reconstruction and the challenges faced by Southern leaders in rebuilding their states. One of the most significant aspects of the book is Schurz's observations on the treatment of freed slaves. He documents the widespread discrimination and violence against African Americans, including the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. Schurz argues that the federal government must take decisive action to protect the rights of African Americans and ensure their full participation in society. Overall, ""Report On The Condition Of The South"" is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the aftermath of the Civil War and the challenges of Reconstruction. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, politics, and social justice.In reply to the resolution adopted by the Senate on the 12th instant, I have the honor to state, that the rebellion waged by a portion of the people against the properly constituted authorities of the government of the United States has been suppressed; that the United States are in possession of every State in which the insurrection existed; and that, as far as could be done, the courts of the United States have been restored, post offices re-established, and steps taken to put into effective operation the revenue laws of the country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Old as history is, and manifold as are its tragedies, I doubt if any death has caused so much pain to mankind as this has caused, or will cause, on its announcement; and this, not so much because nations are by modern arts brought so closely together, as because of the mysterious hopes and fears which, in the present day, are connected with the name and institutions of America.-from Ralph Waldo Emerson's remarks at Lincoln's funeral, April 19, 1865Here, in one compact volume, is an extraordinary tribute to the life and legacy of one of the greatest presidents in United States history. Abraham Lincoln's (1809-1865) own words stand as powerful testimony to his wisdom and leadership: here you'll find his famous Gettysburg Address, both inaugural addresses, the Emancipation Proclamation, a selection of correspondence, his last public speech, and other notable papers. Also included are:. an 1891 essay by Carl Schurz (1829-1906), a prominent and trusted member of the Lincoln administration, a loving but un-idealized acclamation of the man and his work that delves into the deep sense of morality and prodigious intellect that informed his presidency. a stirring and emotional 1864 defense of Lincoln's prosecution of the Civil War by his friend, poet James Russell Lowell (1819-1891).
