Excerpt from Charles Sumner, Vol. 9: His Complete Works, With Introduction by Hon. George Frisbie Hoar
The Constitution and International Law are each in volved in this discussion. Even if the question itself were minute, it would be important from such relations. But it concerns vast masses of property, and, what is more than property, it concerns the liberty of men, while it opens for decision the means to be employed in bring ing this great war to a close. In every aspect the ques tion is transcendent nor is it easy to pass upon it without the various lights of jurisprudence, of history, and of policy.

This book presents a collection of speeches by Senator Charles Sumner from the 1860s, a tumultuous era in American history when the nation wrestled with issues of slavery, civil war, and national identity. The speeches provide a window into the political and moral debates of the time, as Sumner, a staunch abolitionist and advocate for equal rights, forcefully articulated his views on the critical issues facing the country. Through these speeches, the author explores the complex relationship between sovereignty and the rights of war, examining the legal and constitutional justifications for the use of force in suppressing rebellion and protecting the nation. The insights offered in this book not only shed light on the intricacies of American constitutional law but also underscore the enduring importance of the principles of liberty and justice in shaping the nation's destiny.
