Excerpt from The Story of the Civil War, Vol. 1: A Concise Account of the War in the United States of America, Between 1861 and 1865 The task attempted in the following work is in certain respects a novel one. It is to write of the subjects treated from the stand-point of each of the contending parties. In my judgment the war should not be so depicted as to imply that the North and the South differed and quarreled about the same things. That was not the fact. The questions presented to the men of the North were not the same as those with which their Southern contemporaries had to deal. This might be very fully illustrated by referring to the relation which the institution of slavery bore to the people of the North, as compared with its relation to the people of the South, but into this subject the scope of our narrative will not allow us to go. I will illustrate what I mean by calling attention to the fact that the State held a totally different place in the political thought of the South from what it occupied in that of the North.
