Excerpt from The History and Debates of the Convention of the People of Alabama: Begun and Held in the City of Montgomery, on the Seventh Day of January, 1861, In Which Is Preserved the Speeches of the Secret Sessions, and Many Valuable State PapersI deem myself happy in having attempted to collect the materials for this book. Of the Conventions of the people that have recently been held in the seceding States on the great question of dissolving the Union, there does not seem to have been any serious effort made, 'in any except Alabama, to preserve the Debates. It is, therefore, my agreeable fortune, not only to be able to set an example of diligence to the sister States, but to combine, in an au thentic record for future ages, both the acts of the patriots of Alabama, and the fervent words by which they were mu tually animated in the discharge of their great duties.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
