Description
Excerpt from Speeches of a Veteran
Such were the early days of 1861 in St. Louis, where the writer, the son of a slaveholder, rapidly ran through the scale from love for the South and its institutions, through compromise and peace at any price, up to the time he promised Uncle Sam that for a month he would undertake to put down the Rebellion, single - handed and alone, if necessary. The Germans were the most loyal of the population of that city; the F rench and Irish the most disloyal, - an index finger pointing to theworld''s next great struggle when the freedom-loving races, made up of the anglo-saxon and German would be drawn up in deadly con?ict With the Latin and Celt.
