Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a study of the annual messages presented by Illinois Governor Richard Yates to the state legislature from 1861 to 1865. Full of insightful and forward-looking ideas, these messages contain an overview of the significant issues of the day, from debates on the war, military preparedness, and economic development to education reform. His support for policies such as the creation of agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial bureaus, a geological survey, and an expansion of the educational system signaled his belief in continued improvements and growth of Illinois, even amidst the division and strife of the Civil War era. The author highlights Governor Yates' progressive stance on education, especially his emphasis on providing equal access and opportunities for all, regardless of race. As the leader of a state that provided a significant number of volunteer soldiers to the Union cause during the Civil War, the author explores Governor Yates' preoccupation with the welfare of soldiers, including his strong advocacy for their right to vote.
