Synopsis

Power, politics, and faith collide in a lawyer’s controversial defense

This selection centers on the Garfield assassination trial and the dazzling, polarizing arguments used to justify an action seen by some as heroic and by others as murder. In clear, accessible language, the text weaves together historical context, religious framing, and personal letters of support. It presents the defendant’s perspective, the public’s divided response, and reflections on justice, sanity, and the role of faith in public life.

• Understand how the trial was argued from a moral and religious angle
• See how supporters framed the act as a defense of liberty and conscience
• Explore debates about insanity, motive, and the line between belief and action
• Examine how public opinion echoed across newspapers, letters, and personal testimonials

Ideal for readers curious about 19th‑century American politics, legal history, and the interplay between faith and public action.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Truth, and the Removal

I was on theology two or three years, and this book is the result. It was written as I had light during this period. "Christ's Second Coming, A. D. 70," was written at the Public Library in Chicago in December, 1876. I worked a month on it. "Paul the Apostle" and "Christianity Reviewed" were written in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in August and September, 1878. "A Reply to Attacks on the Bible" and "Hades and the Final Judgment" were mostly written at Bridgeport, Ct, in February, 1878. "Some Reasons Why Many People are Going Down to Perdition" was written at the Library of the Young Men's Christian Association in the city of New York in September, 1879. "The Two Seeds" was written at "The Arlington," in Washington, D. C., in June, 1881.

"The Truth" is my contribution to the civilization of the race, and I ask for it a careful attention, to the end, that many souls may find the Saviour. A new line of thought runs through it, and if it does not demonstrate the existence of Heaven and Hell, I submit their existence cannot be proved.
