Shorter, J: Message of Gov; John Gill Shorter, to the Genera

Excerpt from Message of Gov; John Gill Shorter, to the General Assembly of the State of Alabama, at the Called Session: Begun and Held on the Twenty-Seventh October, 1862It is with just pride I announce to'the General Assem bly that, with few exceptions, our fellow-citizens, who were resident within the lines of the enemy, remained, firmly attached to their beloved State, and the cause of the Confederacy. The lofty patriotism, the heroic courage, and the unbending virtue exhibited by the many, which neither the temptations of avarice could seduce, nor the presence of military and despotic power subdue, are worthy of the highest commendation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
