The Commander-in-Chief (Classic Reprint): A Defence Upon Legal Grounds of the Proclamation of Emancipation; And an Answer to Ex-Judge Curtis Pamphlet, Entitled Executive Power - Couverture souple
Synopsis
A clear, pointed defense of the Emancipation Proclamation and the Commander-in-chief’s wartime powers. This pamphlet-style work argues that freeing enslaved people is a necessary tool of war and national preservation, framed as a constitutional and legal justification.
In accessible language, it examines how military authority operates during crisis, and why slavery is treated as a unique, enduring issue in war. It presents a case for interpreting executive power beyond civilian limits, while addressing criticisms about legality and consequences.
- How wartime needs shape presidential authority and civilian rights.
- The role of slavery in the Civil War and its impact on constitutional relations.
- Arguments about the legality of emancipation as a military necessity.
- Answers to common objections and a view of practical consequences for citizens and loyalists.
Ideal for readers interested in Civil War history, constitutional law, and debates surrounding executive power during crisis.
