Excerpt from The Southern Empire: With Other Papers What would be the condition of the Western world to-day if Southern rebellion had become revolution? is a question which may sometimes give us pause. Unfortunately, it is growing increasingly difficult to answer it, to realize the past, and thereby to imagine what would have been. The war has nearly lapsed from memory into tradition. Its triumphs and sufferings, its hopes and fears, are fast fading with distance, and soon will be wrapped in the mists of forgetfulness. The imagination, dulled by time, fails longer to body forth the forms of averted perils, and the dread alternative, disunion, has almost lost its meaning. Yet it was once real enough, near enough.
