Description: Two-Book Hardcover Collection Set "The Quotable Alexander H. Stephens"Selections from the Writings and Speeches of the Confederacy's First Vice Presidentand "The Alexander H. Stephens Reader" Excerpts from the Works of a Confederate Founding Fathercurrently ships in 7 - 10 business daysBy Colonel Lochlainn SeabrookDESCRIPTION FOR "THE QUOTABLE ALEXANDER H STEPHENS"554 pages Was Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens really a "racist" Dixiecrat who believed that slavery was the "cornerstone" of the Confederacy, as pro-North writers assert? Was he actually guilty of "treason" against the U.S., an "anarchist" who should have been hanged for leading the secession of the Southern states? Of course not. And this book proves it! This well-researched work, a companion to Seabrook's The Alexander H. Stephens Reader, provides nearly 700 footnoted entries that reveal the authentic man, one completely opposite of the negative image of Stephens fabricated by enemies of the South. Known as one of America's most kindly and charitable individuals, he was a true friend of the black man, as well as a pro-Unionist who at first campaigned against Southern secession. Also a brilliant thinker, spell-binding orator, and prodigious author, he was, in fact, one of history's most extraordinary, interesting, honorable, and noble figures. Follow Stephens in his own words, as he takes us through the development of the U.S. after the American Revolution, and into the growing bitter sectionalism between the South and the North in the 1840s and 1850s. Get a you-are-there view of the entire "Civil War," from the disastrous election of big government Liberal Abraham Lincoln in November 1860, to the tragic fall of the Confederacy and Stephens' illegal imprisonment in the Spring of 1865. Follow the frail but feisty Georgia governor-who turned down offers to run for both U.S. president and C.S. president-from so-called "Reconstruction" and the rebuilding of the South (which he helped direct), through the postwar administrations of Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, and Chester A. Arthur. Along the way, not only do we learn the true cause behind Lincoln's War, but Stephens also lays out the facts concerning Southern slavery and his "Cornerstone" speech, while forcefully defending the constitutional right of secession. Follow the lifelong bachelor-politician (who served in the U.S. government, in one capacity or another, from President Andrew Jackson to President Chester A. Arthur, a span of forty-seven years) as he discloses his everyday thoughts and personal opinions on everything from the weather and dogs to self-government and states' rights, in this profusely illustrated one-of-a-kind book that is sure to become a standard in Southern literature. With the publication of The Quotable Alexander H. Stephens, the anti-South movement's vicious slander against "little Aleck," as he was lovingly known to his relatives, friends and constituents, is now powerless. Thanks to Mr. Seabrook, Alexander H. Stephens has finally been fully redeemed. DESCRIPTION FOR "THE ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS READER"1,050 pagesIn his ongoing efforts to resuscitate and preserve authentic Southern history, popular award-winning author Lochlainn Seabrook has written this one-of-a-kind, 1,050 page volume providing topical "Excerpts From the Works of a Confederate Founding Father." Conveniently divided into two sections, Mr. Seabrook devotes thirty heavily footnoted chapters to selections from the Vice President's enormous output of personal and public letters, speeches, official testimony, recollections, responses to critics, and literary works. The period covered is from 1836 to 1881, with the last half of the book dedicated to excerpts from Stephens' deservedly renowned two-volume tome, "A Constitutional View of the Late War Between the States," published in 1868 and 1870. Mr. Seabrook's unique work provides us with something of inestimable value: the Truth about Lincoln's War on the South and the Constitution. From Stephens' own pen and lips we get not only a rare look at the Southern perspective of the War, but also the governmental history of the formation of our great "Confederated Republic," as George Washington called the U.S.A. We also learn of the Founding Fathers' struggle to forge a workable constitution, the early battle between Southern conservatives and Northern liberals over the ideas of limited and big government, and the honest facts about slavery, the Confederate and Union Causes, and the American "Civil War"-our country's second Revolutionary War of Secession. At the end of Chapter Thirty, the reader is left with only one conclusion; the very one that strict constitutionalist Stephens, a brilliant lawyer, writer, and orator, spent the entire last half of his life evangelizing: because secession literally gave birth to the U.S.A. in 1776 and is tacitly guaranteed in the Constitution, it is still legal to this day. Thus, the "Civil War" was an illicit and unwarranted conflict and Abraham Lincoln was a war criminal. The Alexander H. Stephens Reader, destined to become a classic in its field, will forever change the way you look at American history, the Confederacy, the Union, the War, the U.S. Constitution, and Confederate Vice President Stephens himself. The Introduction is by Charles Kelly Barrow, Lieutenant Commander-in-Chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and author of Black Confederates.Retail price for both books:$80.Buy two & save!
