Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Broken Sword, or a Pictorial Page in Reconstruction In the enforcement of the policy of Reconstruo tion in the South, the evidences were from day to, day becoming so cumulative and decisive, that nothing but the discipline of an enraged party, . Coupled with the spoils principle, prevented the whole mass of the community from a universal expression of its desire to have it abandoned. Reasoning men everywhere felt that it must'con tinne to multiply its mischiefs. But, said its authors, treason must be made odious, and' the late insurrectionary States must feel that there is. A higher law than that promulgated by their ordi nances of secession. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
